Alphabet of the 501st
Denal
Doing what he believed was right,
Eager to please and serve the Republic,
Noting and following all his orders,
Aiming and firing with nary a miss,
Laid low at last by a deadly bounty hunter.
Coric
Caring for all of his brother clones,
Ordered to care for their welfare,
Ready always to do his duty,
Instantly running when a brother goes down,
Curing and healing his brethren of the ravages of war.
Echo
Educated as well as a trooper could be,
Clever and erudite, gifted with total recall,
Hating rebellion and slacking off, for
Obedient to orders he always was.
Fives
Full of gifts and blessings of the spirit,
Inwardly searching for the best solution,
Veteran of many campaigns, and
Exposed to many odd tragedies,
Sick of losing so many loved and valued lives.
Jesse
Justice and humor were his belief and traits,
Errors were rare in his fighting style,
Symbolizing his head with the Republic emblem,
Showing his loyalty to the Galactic Republic,
Every time he had to battle and bleed.
Hardcase
Hammering his foes with a great big chain gun,
Answering their challenges with his own hard lesson,
Ravaging them with the shells of his favorite Minie,
Driving them far away, back where they came from.
Clone brothers of the 501st were his first concern,
Asking them if they need his help to win the day,
Slowness was not part of his attack pattern,
Except when he did not need to attack at all.
Kix
King of clone medics was what he was,
Indeed none did it better than he did,
Xcept for Coric during his best moments.
Tup
Trained to be a rookie of the 501st,
Until he gained experience to rise in the ranks,
Plainly as good as any good rookie.
Dogma
Doing everything as he was plainly told,
Obedient to a fault like many lesser men,
Gone in the engineering of his alien makers,
Made for nothing more than to be a soldier,
Always he could not be free of such a lonely life.
Appo
Advanced in leadership and fighting skills,
Prepared to kill the enemies of the Empire,
Pleased to defend and serve Lord Darth Vader,
Officer and commander of Vader's Fist.
Fox
Full of interest in the Journeyman Protectors,
Obeying orders of the Five Hundred and First,
Xenophobic as so many Imperials were.
Bow
Bold and strong as a deputy commander,
Odious and corrupted as any clone commander,
Willing to weed out opponents to kill and burn.
Vill
Villainous like a cold-blooded reptile,
Instantly refusing to spare a Nosaurian's life,
Loving and caring toward his own brethren,
Longing for them and him to feel relevant.
Voca
Violence and orders are what he was bred for,
Officer of the 501st, faithful to Darth Vader,
Cloned and trained for combat and leadership,
Attacked insurgents for peace, order, and freedom.
Rex
Rebellious and reckless and going Jango,
Elite and moral as the best ARC trooper, no
Xenophobe, brute, or programmed pawn was he.
A/N: Yes, I know there's no such word as "xcept." It's just that the letter "X" has the smallest number of words that begin with it, and I had a very hard time thinking of "X words" that can apply to Star Wars clones. Sorry. Hopefully, I won't have to do another poem with too many "X's" in it for some time.
