One Jedi Symphony of the Knight
Tattooine terra cotta fruition
Midi-chlorian counts and Dooku
Fear, paths to choose
For the council is wary
These noble men, know not loss
Stripped of maternal benevolence
Amorous Amidala and ambitious malevolence
Under Y-Wing, Conductor Sith
Galactic dominoes, Chancellor of chance
Order of Williams 66th
Force fortissimo, violin violence
Dark Side full
He holds no quarter, that’s no moon
Rebel Hope, lurking
Lords and lack of faith, disturbing
Conspirators of the Senate
Those lean in look are yonder
Duel of the Fates:
Holy Son versus Heavenly Father
Savior to kin, Anakin
Death for Republic to begin again
A grounded Skywalker
Et tu, Luke?
Then fall, Emperor
"Now in the morning I sleep alone, sweep the streets I used to own"

ReplyDeleteAwesome! The use of Star Wars and historical references create many layers to your poem. Thanks for a great challenge response, Byran.
ReplyDelete..Force fortissimo, violin violence.. cool lines and wordplays like this make this a very interesting and enjoyable read...i like it!
ReplyDeleteNot enough of a Star Wars geek to get all the references, but I liked the political and social undertones, and the imagery was immersive and clean. Nice take on the prompt, and good luck on your bloggery.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the commentary, friends. Understandably, to fully grasp the Star Wars references would take an uber geek (such as myself) but nonetheless, it was alot of fun. I look forward to sharing more prose with you in the future. Thanks for the Sunday challenge prompt, onestoppoetry.com
