I’m not a very interested person when it comes to poetry, and is don’t really have a favorite poem, or poetry author. When this assignment came along I had no idea what to do. After a bit of thinking, I remembered something. I LOVE STAR WARS! After I got the idea, I started looking for a Star Wars poem, and after a bit of searching, I found it.
I like this poem because it has a good story behind it, and a great description. This poem is about a lightsaber—specifically the one used by Anakin Skywalker, which was later given to his son, Luke Skywalker.
To a Lightsaber
The trusty weapon to a knight,
magical sword of flame,
beacon of justice, blade of light,
-“Lightsaber” is thy name.
A weapon of a better day,
whose memory long did fade,
buried like those whom it did once slay.
The years went on—and more did die
of murder and of lies
a corrupt reign stood strong and high
-for you had helped it rise.
You saw it not—in a faraway land,
hidden you bide your time,
buried, like bones beneath the sand,
hoping once more to shine.
You’ll shine again, famed sword of yore,
in better eras wrought,
new hands will carry you to war,
to right the wrong you brought.
By Lady Shizoid.
