"Do you know the difference between an error and a mistake? Anyone can make an error, but that error doesn't become a mistake until they refuse to correct it."
-Grand Admiral Thrawn
Heir to the Empire, by Timothy Zhan.


He sat

alone,
nothing but a single Ysalamiri
on his white uniform shoulders,
his pale blue skin
and blood red, glowing eyes
studying,
planing,
waiting,

fighting for the Empire

Flying
alone,
nothing but Artoo
behind in the X- wing
his metal hand
and Jedi robe
looking,
learning,
trying to help,

fighting for the Republic

Feeling
alone,
nothing but her blaster
to keep her comfort
her gold red hair
bright green eyes
preparing,
plotting,
greving,

fighting for herself

 

Learning,
alone,
nothing but the Grand Admiral
to guide him
underestimating,
observing,
wishing,

fighting for the Empire

Waiting,
alone,
nothing but her unborn twins
stirring inside her
her soft brown eyes
and logical mind
hoping,
praying,
working,

fighting for the Republic

Working,
alone,
nothing but two vornkskrs
to keep him company
wondering,
waiting,
persuading,

fighting for himself

Living,
alone,
nothing but hundreds of minds
to control
prying,
playing,
warping,

fighting for the throne


The author's comments:

I just finished The Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn it is a Star Wars based book. I love Star Wars and the characters in it. This poem shows the traits of some of the clasic Star Wars characters and some new to the books

I'm the Author, does anyone know how I can get my name on my poem? I tried when I submitted it but it didn't show up.
