Competition: I Wrote That Twi'lek A Sonnet

Finished
I Wrote That Twi'lek A Sonnet

No, you do not have to write a sonnet. :P

What you DO have to do is compose a poem all about your love of Star Wars! The content of the poem can vary, from a serenade to Chewie or a lament for Han, to a page straight out of Kylo Ren's angst-ridden diary about mommy and daddy not loving him and everything being black. You could also write about your own personal love or like for the fandom, the club, or anything Star Wars! The galaxy is the limit.

You may also choose the format of your poem. Standard poems should be at least three stanzas ("paragraphs") long. Line poems should use at least two words. Haikus...well, haikus have three lines, just watch that syllable count. :P You can reference some types of poems and how to write them here in the Academy.

Entries will be graded on syntax, creativity, and entertainment. While this is a parody comp, and humor is a factor, a beautifully composed piece that makes men weep may win just as easily. Don't be afraid to depart from the humorous. If your entry is unsuitable for a PG-13 environment, be sure not to publish!

When I was a wee lad, just five and a half years old
My father said we would watch the greatest story ever told
Golden words began to scrawl across the screen
My interest piqued, I began to lean

Before my eyes a grandiose story began to unfold
About an Empire that replaced a Republic of Old
And a Rebellion that was trying to go back,
To a time before the galaxy was ruled by a man in all black

It would all fall to a simple Tatooine farm boy
And a 'that's-no-space-station' that he would destroy
To start a journey anew and avenge his fallen mentor
And uphold the promise to become a Jedi that he swore

> Hurriedly hammering hectic verses while
Silent specters slit sultry purses
Feet fleeting furiously from frantic felons
Lekku laughing and lilting lightly
Violet vitriol veryily violent
Shadows stepping, silently sprinting
Dancing, dodging danger dripping
Worried and weary of words to wield,
Sinister sonnets a seraphic shield
Poetry in motion, made minds mending
So I did not try to write that Twi'lek a sonnet
For that skill escapes me even when I try and hop on it,
Even though everyone knows that Twi'leks *love* sonnets.

A poem and haiku, by Xeipha.

Roses are red.
My heart is black.
Pravus wants me dead.
What do ya think about that.

Atty makes breakfast.
Easy on that syrup, girl.
Eat, sleep, breath, waffles.

There was once a Sith from the Dark
Who one day went for a walk in the Park
He played on the swings
And softly he sings
Swinging all day with a lark
Then one day
He was heard to say
I feel I am turning Grey

Leia Organa
You were never good enough
To be my momma

Scoundrel, Han Solo
You were never a good Dad
I am not your son

Oh, my grandfather
Finishing what you started
Is my only goal

You walking carpet,
Your bowcaster bolt hurt me
But words won't hurt me

Master Skywalker
I killed all of your new hopes
Because light is weak.

Rey is family
Can we go build a snowman?
Force woke up? K bye.

The Force is a strong power
Humming the SW theme in the shower
We are in a group
Arcona whoop whoop
Let the Dark Side devour
