I'm getting quite good at this, aren't I? This is my third poem series. The first two were about Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon's relationship. The third one was about Boba Fett. All were a blast to work on. I really wanted to do a poem series for Jedi because I've written poems in the area before… and I think the Jedi deserve it. Some of the poems I've written for other Jedi-specific Jedi characters and time periods, I mean, can be found separately on my profile.
Painter
I'm not a Jedi.
I'm a painter.
The Temple is my school for the fine art.
It's a humble school for such a fine art.
But… it's the only place to learn.

The Force is a canvas.
I need to hold it steady by grabbing on and focusing.
Then I paint with a saber of blue.
It's invisible to every eye but mine.
It's something only the painter understands.

I paint with the Light Side.
I only paint what is good.
As I paint what is good there is less bad.
That's how a Jedi paints.
That's how we all learned.

I can't teach you how to paint.
Only you can find the canvas.
But I can guide you.
I can show you the best way to let it flow.
But it's you and your canvas doing all the work.

We're all painting a picture.
It's mostly green and blue.
Our canvas has two sides.
We paint on the Light Side.
The Light Side of our canvas has swirls and arcs and sweeps- beautiful.

We Masters of lightsabers aren't warriors.
We're not diplomats.
We're not mercenaries.
We're painters.
