Star Wars Poetry?

[Guest]

Try this one for size

 

For my english class we have to write a poem about either a now deceased historical figure or a fictional character.

 

So I decided to write a poem about Luke Skywalker, since I know more about him than ANY historical figures.

 

The hard part is that there a certain rules to this.

 

The Ryhme Scheme has to be:

 

A

A

A

 

B

 

C

C

C

 

B

 

then we can only have 6 syllables per line and only 3 beats per line.

So I, ignoring that last part about the syllables and beats just tried to make one with the rhyme scheme. AND IT IS HARD!

 

This is what I have so far:

 

A Boy of nineteen

Lived on Tatooine

Many appliances did he clean

 

On this lonely planet

 

Two droids did he come to know

R2-D2 and C3-PO

They had a message that did glow

 

Just like the holonet

 

From a Princess Rebel

The Empire she planned to level

In this he did revel

 

Then he came upon

 

Obi-Wan-Kenobi

Who lived in a house of adobe

And like many old fogey

 

Spent much time in the John

 

He was a Jedi Knight

In the Clone Wars he did Fight

A Defender of Truth and Right

 

Who Knew Luke’s Dad

 

Luke’s Uncle did lie

Luke’s father was a Jedi

Who by Vader did die

 

And that was totally rad

 

When they went back to the homestead

Luke’s Aunt and Uncle were dead

So from there they fled

 

They got help from Han and Chewie

 

Who also could not stay

Luke and Ben had to pay

To get far away

 

The situation was gooey

 

From there they ran

To find Alderaan

A trip that did span

 

Many light years

 

Ben’s cheer did drain

When he sensed a billion voices in pain

Who were all extinguished like a candle in the rain

 

Confirmed were their fears

 

The Entire planet was destroyed

Nothing but rocks in the void

Then saw something they should avoid

 

The size of a moon

 

A huge battle station

Lager than any nation

This massive creation

 

Spelled certain doom

 

??????????????????????????

===================================================

That's as far as Ive gotten, and now I'm stuck and can't finish, I'm just trying to get to end of episode 4 and call it good.

 

So uuhhh have fun and write your own ending to my poem or write your own poem any way you want.  Have fun

;D

[Controller]

so the plan is to have us finish it and you choice the best one? ;D ;D ;D

well so far it sounds good.

what i do when i have to do this is pick someone no one has ever heard of(but was real) and make it up ;D ;D

How's this for the next couple stanzas?

 

 

 

Was like nothing that they’d ever dreamed

Then they got caught by its tractor beam

And then Luke did scream

 

They were stuck like tape

 

In the hangar did land the ship

Our heroes gave them the slip

For the smuggling compartment lids the technicians did not flip

 

While Obi-Wan made plans for escape

[Tokakeke]

To detention block AA-twenty-three

Went Luke, Han, and Chewie

So the Princess could be free

 

"Everything's fine here, we're uh, all right" said they,

 

Obi-Wan, the tractor beam, power shut off!

And Vader sensed it in the Force, something, something soft

Why, if Vader wasn't there, who would sense it? A Moff?

 

"What's your operating number", conversation quite grey.

 

 

Han blasted the panel, company invited

By this time Skywalker was rather excited

Jumped down the garbage chute, but its walls slowly tightened

 

"Come in 3PO! Did you hear what I said?"

 

The compactor grew smaller, in it garbage, bananas half peeled

Han fired his blaster, but the chamber was magnetically sealed

Bounced off the walls, a invisible force field

 

"Artoo, oh no, thanks to you they're all dead!"

[Relentless]

No offence to anyone, but Star Wars poetry could very well be the nerdiest thing there is.

I agree ROFL no offense intended.

yeah it is, but this is my english grade we are talking about so give it a shot  ;D

 

after I posted this at about 1:30 AM I tried to make up my own and they really suck:

 

Their ship was sucked in by the tractor beam

Through the armor of white that did gleam

Into the docking bay that was really clean

 

They hid and were not found

 

They saw Darth Vader

Who was scarier than any Tusken Raider

And even Ralph Nader

 

In the midst of StormTroopers abound

 

Han proved himself to be a playa’

When he and Luke rescued Leia

From the prison lair

 

Then then got away

 

From that terrible place

Without losing face

To Yavin they did race

 

Without being killed by a laser ray

 

They met at the rebel shack

There they planned their attack

But not without a light snack

 

Luke jumped in his X-wing

 

And found his old friend Biggs Darklighter

Who also piloted an X-wing starfighter

But who wanted to be a writer

 

Then they were on to the next thing

 

To attack the Death Star

And fire their torpedoes into a port the size of a car

Down a trench that was really far

 

To detention block AA-twenty-three

Went Luke, Han, and Chewie

So the Princess could be free

 

"Everything's fine here, we're uh, all right" said they,

 

Obi-Wan, the tractor beam, power shut off!

And Vader sensed it in the Force, something, something soft

Why, if Vader wasn't there, who would sense it? A Moff?

 

"What's your operating number", conversation quite grey.

 

 

Han blasted the panel, company invited

Jumped down the garbage chute, but its walls slowly tightened

 

"Come in 3PO! Did you hear what I said?"

 

The compactor grew smaller, in it garbage, bananas half peeled

Han fired his blaster, but the chamber was magnetically sealed

Bounced off the walls, a invisible force field

Those are way better than what I came up with  ;D

go to the control panel(you should see it in the start menu) and go into fonts just dump them in there(This is for XP)

[Logan Felipe]

Cant think of anything else at the moment...

Perhaps a sooth limerick will inspire thee?

 

The Notorious Jabba the Hutt

 

The notorious Jabba the Hutt

Sat on his e-normous butt.

Did no excercise,

Spare for rolling his eyes;

And his palace? Only fit for a Hutt!

 

Wrote that last year. ;D

Heheheh that was pretty good

 

but here is my finished product which I will turn in to my teacher:

 

============================================================

A Boy of nineteen

Lived on Tatooine

Many appliances he did clean

 

On this lonely planet

 

Two droids did he come to know

R2-D2 and C3-PO

They had a message that did glow

 

Just like the holonet

 

A girl so gorgeous that Luke would have kissed her

If only he knew this chick was his sister

The Empire she did plan to blister

 

Then Luke came upon

 

Obi-Wan-Kenobi

Who lived in a house of adobe

And like many old fogey

 

Spent much time in the John

 

He was a Jedi Knight

In the Clone Wars he did fight

A Defender of truth and right

 

Luke could have stayed back but he figured why bother

 

Luke’s Uncle did lie

His father was in fact a Jedi

In this Luke’s interest did lie

 

I'll go be a Jedi, and be like my father

 

When they went back to the homestead

Luke’s Aunt and Uncle were dead

So from there they fled

 

They got help from Han and Chewie

 

Obi Wan's offer could not be refused

Han Solo's debt would soon be defused

Han’s ship would be used

 

Off into space, things soon got screwy

 

Pursued by Star Destroyers they ran

To find the planet Alderaan

A trip that did span

 

Many light years

 

Ben’s cheer did drain

When he sensed a billion voices in pain

Who were all extinguished like a candle in the rain

 

Confirmed were his fears

 

Alderaan was destroyed

Nothing but rocks in the void

Then saw something they should avoid

 

A tractor beam sucked their ship right inside

 

A huge battle station

Lager than any nation

Was this massive creation

 

But Han and the gang had enough smarts to hide

 

To detention block AA-twenty-three

Went Luke, Han, and Chewie

So the Princess could be free

 

"Everything's fine here, we're uh, all right" said they,

 

Obi-Wan, the tractor beam, power shut off!

And Vader sensed it in the Force, something, something soft

His old Master’s presence was aloft

 

"What's your operating number", conversation quite gray.

 

 

 

Han blasted the panel, company invited

By this time Skywalker was rather excited

Jumped down the garbage chute, but its walls slowly tightened

 

"Come in 3PO! Did you hear what I said?"

 

The compactor grew smaller, in it garbage, bananas half peeled

Han fired his blaster, but the chamber was magnetically sealed

Bounced off the walls, an invisible force field

 

Poor C3-PO thought they were all dead

 

Meanwhile Ben found Darth Vader

Who was scarier than any Tusken Raider

And even Ralph Nader

 

So they began to duel

 

Their Lightsabers met with a loud clash

Stabbing, blocking and the occasional slash

And Ben saw how to get Luke out of this hash

 

He let Vader strike him down which was rather cruel

 

The rest did escape to a hidden base

The Princess was finally at home in her place

The Death Star they planned to erase

 

 

By Jan Donnada, the rebels were coached

 

That there was in fact a way

To send the death star to the ash tray

But now at the break of day

 

The Death Star approached

 

So they got in their ships and flew into space

In what became a desperate race

And Vader he did chase

 

Luke in his X-wing

 

One by one, the Rebels were downed

Explosions so cool that no one could have frowned

And other special effects that did astound

 

Now Vader had to finish this thing

 

He dove into the throng

Shooting at Luke but he kept aiming wrong

Puzzling, with this one the Force was sure strong

 

He pursed Luke on his present course

 

Now Luke in the trench was alone

His hope did drop like a stone

But out of nowhere Ben’s voice did moan

 

“Use the Force!”

 

Vader had targeted Luke and was about to fire

When suddenly his wingmen did expire

He clipped them and he spun away like a flat tire

 

Han had come and saved the day

 

“You're all clear, kid, now let's blow this thing!”

Said Han to Luke in his battered X-wing

With joy Luke’s heart did sing

 

Now it was time for the Empire to Pay

 

A pair of torpedoes he shot

With tails of flame that were really hot

To the exhaust port they got

 

That single shot, went in like a breeze

 

A massive explosion did it cause

And after the many “oohs” and “awes”

The fans erupted into applause

 

That fireworks show sure did please

 

And this was the Rebels' first big victory

But there is much more to the story, you see

In the sequels, will unfold Luke’s destiny
