A #StarWars #Haiku

So much Star Wars on

This event in Chicago

One of my life’s great joys


Star Wars has long been a key part of my life. The films are a central part of my personal mythology. I’ve written a few other poems about the films, and I expect I’ll write more.

With Star Wars Celebration going on in Chicago this weekend, I’ve been delighted to watch video footage of the happenings. I’ve long been inspired by the universe, and delighted as we keep moving forward. I felt a desire to communicate a bit of what it feels like to watch what’s happening to these characters I love. I hope I did it justice.

Blackholes: A Haiku

Deep in outer space
Great power bending the light
As I gaze at rain

A Star Wars Haiku

As a long-time Star Wars fan, I thought it would be fun to create a couple of Star Wars themed haiku. Below is the first.

Captain America: A Haiku

 

Over the decades

His journey reflecting us

And the ways we’ve changed

A reflection on Avengers Infinity War

Thanos’ power
Can what’s been done be undone?
So much for my mind

So many questions after Infinity War, round 1. I’m left reeling a bit. Let’s puzzle through this, shall we?

More reflections over the next little bit.

A Haiku About Star Wars

Star Wars delights me
This epic that’s captured hearts
And enchants my soul
