*linked to d’Versepoets on Bjorn’s invitation to write about fables
in new york city
(comics doing time)
humanoid turtle
teenagers fight crime
creative license
is running wild when
green vigilantes
entertain a child
japanese fables
american made
practice martial arts
toy market stealth raid
such is modern art
in renaissance style
masters mutated
art history’s on trial
moral of this tail?
save the pet turtles
from mutagen ooze
keep out of sewers
beware ninjutsus!
Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo

A whole Hollywood horror Sci Fi franchise has come out of the toys G.I. JOE & TRANSFORMERS. I like some of the Anime tales, like COWBOY BEBOP, but most of it is crude & silly. Like your twist of the prompt though.

lol. but the TMNT are so entertaining…and that it plays on a common household pet, it is all the more real for kids….

ha – japan certainly has their own big fable pool – some of those are quite cool… some frightening…some need a bit of explanation for our western ears – i have a colleague at work who lived in japan for some years…
