The Force! The Force!
No Coda yet for Me!
Ooh! Scary it may Be!
A Horse! A Horse!
Then Yoda said to Me...
"Mmm, Wary you should Be!"
The Course? The Course?
No Soda Can to Sea?
"Mmm, Ferry not for Me!"
Brute Force! Brute Force!
Will Chewy go with Thee?
"Mmm, Hairy, not for Me!

dangerous tango and duel
sky walker and grand Vader
Hilarious up to the end,
the witty, short verses he penned.
And his limerick score?
Fifteen hundred or more…
Aloha, smooth sailing, my friend!
There once was a young lad named Garrison
whose Lego skills had no comparison.
A few thousand more pieces?
Aptitude just increases:
in a flash, he’s outbuilding everyone.
Hero
I know who you are
Your secret is busted
My spider sense tingles
It can always be trusted
The bad guys are nervous
They can't see through your glasses
All evil's on hold
While you're kicking their asses
And though your invincible status is real
The people who know
See the pain that you feel
For the toughened exterior shell you may show
Hides a weakness,
A softness,
That no-one can know
But slow down there Tonto
Put the Bat-cave on hold..
Can I download a theory?
If I can be so bold..
Let's re-wind the story
To that time at the start
With the hero-gene planted
Somewhere.. deep in your heart(s)
Some words may be kryptonite
And the world makes you frown.
Strength is far beyond physical
They just can't take you down
For buried way deep inside you
A flickering light
If you throw down the saber
Find it quietly you might..
For the wonder of being a woman
It seems
Or a man with a cape
Or a child filled with dreams
Is that promise of Peace
And that Hope of renew
For the phone rings;
A message..
That hero is you.

THE JEDI MASTER
My grocery bag stares at me as if
I’m the enemy. Hans Solo holds his
gun, the Wookie towers over him.
Princess Leia clings to his walking
furball waist. Carrie, draped in white,
like now, six feet under, boys still
ogling her and her two pinwheel curls.
Skywalker, the kid, bends down reaches
out, shaky hand of a jedi-in-training. Is
It I that they fear? The furball slants
his head, as animal’s often do, with
contemplation. An armchair “Darth Vader”
with a Starbuck’s coffee cup, I turn my
eyes away. The fab-four hasn’t moved.
Only as I snatch them up, lift them up
to the chrome vehicle, whisk them away
to a place with books, hide them in the dark,
close the door, do they understand, they
have no power, except that given by the master.

Light Poetry
Wherefrom poetry shades recall,
and the other side of yesterday
is but a dreamt hallucination,
can't see the foliage from trees'
darkly forested boundaries,
insofar as frivolous moonbeams
agitate sun's glorified imagism
'midst hues of baubled madness
& vaporous sentiments are replete
within day-trippers' remote motives,
shadowing delusional chicanery
of rosé-tinted Jedi mind tricks
When you start to let go
What do you see? Liberation
You've been hanging on too much
You are not supposed to have any weight on you
It's not meant to be
And it's not supposed to be
Do you see anyone walking around with weight on them?
Yet we carry weight mentally
Not good my friend
Let loose and see what happens
Don't believe me?
Just let go of everything that is on your mind
Don't worry about what would happen
Totally - let it go
You will see your whole outlook changes
Your body changes
You're no longer uptight
Hard to deal with
You are not meant to be like that, bro - the old way
It's time to let go
And say "so"
Comsi comsa
Merci beaucoup, will ya?
Or whatever you feel like saying
Who is going to know or stop you? haha
Unless you stop you
And I wouldn't do that
'Cause you'll need you
And what's ya gonna do? Ha
We raced with giants and stalked Jabba Jab
Climbing on gates of metal and wood,
Fierce skin lacerated from thorny spikes
Our innocence excused by the gods.
With our light sabers in a clone menace
The troopers moved to protect all borders
From evil DarthNess and his invaders ;
Brave were our young minds with imaginings.
Weary from the Third Encounter
Our jerky knees brought us home,
Five knights reveling about our winning match
As we devoured heaps of steak in one fast round!
Carol Eastman's You're A Super Hero
new poem
by nette onclaud
Yoda you are not
Spiritual may forgot
Creature green and small
A Jedi, your size, be you tall
With words of meanings small
Your language known be all
To many with imaginations,bright
Be they to wield their saber light.
Imagination dark and light yield
Jedi be, force is sealed
Vadar and boy son he be
Many child role be he
Inspire to save ,no evil defeat
Battles waged, honor he'd meet
Yoda, small joy you brought
Skills, self worth by Jedi, taught.
Jedi knight
Evil fight
Force unite
Beware dark side's bite!
Weapon…light-saber
Acrobatics with the Force
Darth Vader’s demise
Entrant into Andrea Dietrich's "SENRYU OF A MOVIE SCENE" contest
I am a Jedi, keeper of the peace and mediator.
I wonder about the hidden aspects of the Force.
I hear the politicians row around me.
I see the Galaxy as it is, not as it should be.
I want the peace the Galaxy deserves.
I am a Jedi, keeper of the peace and mediator.
I pretend not to hear the call of the Dark Side.
I feel the power it offers.
I touch that power and recoil.
I worry about what would happen should I embrace it.
I cry at the loss of those that do.
I am a Jedi, keeper of the peace and mediator.
I understand little about the world around me.
I say Good will always triumph.
I dream of a Galaxy at peace.
I try to help that dream become a reality.
I hope that dream comes true.
I am a Jedi, keeper of the peace and mediator.
