Well, as I begin to realize that free time is dwindling, I get a burst of inspiration... ironic, eh? I pulled out my folder from sci-fi writing camp last night and went through my stuff and I found the perfect thing: POETRY. It's short and quick to type.
Here's the dilemma. Taking a stab at poetry isn't exactly cake. I know from experience. Poetry has deep meanings and such. Need I say more?
I hope that I capture simplicity and complexity in this piece, which will develop itself into an anthology sooner or later. I should mention, I usually do some type of rhyme scheme rather than free verse...
As the summary stated, these will focus mainly upon Padmé. Somehow Padmé was my big inspiration at camp. She was IT. LOL. So expect lots of Padmé. At least in the beginning. :D
First up, a little poem titled "Your Angel" Hope you like it. PLEASE R&R! But be nice, it's my first attempt at Star Wars poetry for real.
This one is set in AOTC, which will become quite obvious. It's about Padmé's conflicting feelings...

Your Angel
Are you an angel?
Decidedly not.
But I met your steady gaze,
My attention caught.
In a twist of irony,
I cannot have known
That right then, a piece
Of my fate had been sewn.
I'm lost in your eyes,
Haunted by your touch,
And surprised that your presence,
Affects me so much.
My love is for the people,
As a Senator, a former Queen,
But as a girl, as Padmé,
I can't have foreseen.
I'm falling in love
Selfishly letting it in
Transfixed by your aura
And that lopsided grin
Yet I'm forced to forget
And keep these thoughts hidden
For I know that such love
Is darkly forbidden
But those eyes reel me in
On the Nabooan lake shores
Am I an angel, you ask.
Maybe I'm yours.
I'm torn. I have no idea how you may have liked that. REVIEW please, no flames though. I'm actually nervous, which I'm usually not about STORIES.
Oh Force, look what POETRY has done to me:)
