Okay... moving onward. This next one, I like. I wonder... will you?
THE CHALLENGE: JediDaughter1 loaded me with prompts. I chose one, my friend, but please don't be offended, I'm likely to use another later. They were all good, but in the end, I chose to write about Padmé and her sister, Sola. I'm anxious about what you'll think!
MY RESPONSE/NOTES: This is basically Padmé's thoughts. (again) I imagine her writing a letter to her sister in her head... and you'll see. This is DEFINITELY Clone Wars timeframe. Tootles, and enjoy all!
Another note, I know I've mentioned this before, but I tend to rhyme and free-verse is quite uncommon for me.

Hold Me, My Sister
I remember the two of us
Playing in the flowers,
Inventing new games,
Spending hours and hours...
Remember, my sister,
Those happier times?
Silly hand-clapping games
And even sillier rhymes?
Chubby fingers picking blooms,
Tiny smiles decked with dimples,
Now I'm lost in my gloom...
If only life were that simple.
I'd trade these datapads,
To play one more round,
To be carefree, to giggle,
To tumble onto the ground.
I love my career
Yet I'm starting to dread
Each new work day
I see you in my head.
Sister, I love you and
Miss you so much,
Even the gossipy teasing and such.
And now, as I sit, alone and distressed,
Sister, there's something I
Wish to confess...
Remember that boy?
The Jedi with the blue eyes?
He's out on the frontlines,
Sister... he could die.
And though I denied it,
As bluntly as ever,
My sister, I'm sure that
I'll love him forever.
Dearest Sola, my heart is drowning in fear.
Hold me, my sister and scare off the tears.
SOOOOOOOO...
Comments?
Please?
Thank you?
LOL. So, JediDaughter1, if you're out there, whatcha think?
