Anakin and Padme in a Twilit Field
I
In a field of
butterflies
iridescent and
clean,
Anakin sits
his cheek sporting a
gleam-
ing tear
As he grieves
for his hamster
named Sam,
who has died of
neglect
on this wretched Naboo.
Grief!
II
Anakin cried and
then he cried more
o'er the Death
of his hamster
named Sam
the sun is setting
and his bum is
in pain
from the grass
and the twigs
in the field where his slain
hamster will be
put to rest,
Yet still he cries
and cries yet more
for his hamster was loved,
Will be loved evermore.
Tragedy!
III
In her room
in her palace
sits Padme Naberrie
combing her hair,
oh so carefully,
When suddenly it hits!
Bacteria in her cells!
Her midichlorian count
rockets
through the ceiling!
With her newfound sensitivity
she sees her love's pain
and hastens to the field
where he sits with his poor hamster
so recently slain.
Miracle!
IV
Anakin is finally
preparing the grave
his gloved hands part dirt
made mud by tears cried
for his hamster
named Sam.
He lowers the body
into its grave
when suddenly!
Padme Naberrie yells
"Halt!"
Anakin looks toward his love
with glistening eyes
shining bright against
the setting sun.
She stands glowing
in a beautiful dress
her hair freshly brushed
so each brunette tress
glistens straight in the twilight.
And when Anakin senses
his love's newfound power
his eyes go wide
and he loves her even harder.
Beauty!

"I will restore your
beloved hamster
named Sam,"
says Padme Naberrie
her voice soft and warm.
"With my new Force Powers
I am fit to be your Queen
as though you did not love me
already, when I was
already the Queen
of this world,
then a Senator to boot."
Anakin, confused, holds up
Sam to his love.
"I loved you always," he says
"No matter what,
from the moment I saw you
you've always been my Queen!"
And Padme Naberrie
holds her hand over Sam
speaks to her midichlorians
Raises the Dead.
Sam squeaks back to life
and kicks his little feet
as Anakin giggles with joy
at his love's newfound feat.
"Oh, Padme!" he says
"You are always so amazing!"
"Oh, Ani!" she says
"You are always so dashing!"
Their meet lips
against the auburn sky.
Sam smiles his hamster smile
and curls into Anakin's palm.
Love!
Fin.
