Sonnet 15: The Stormtrooper Sonnet


I bought a stormtrooper helmet recently. It's beautiful. It is so beautiful that I immediately wanted to write a sonnet about it (concentrating on its porcelain "skin" and big green eyes). From there, it became a sonnet to a stormtropper... then a sonnet to a stormtrooper from a stormtrooper... then a sonnet to a stormtrooper from a stormtrooper who has watched the events of the Star Wars movies and felt like referencing dialogue... Just go with it.

This may be the cutest (my favorite joke in it notwithstanding), sweetest, dorkiest thing I've ever written.


I hide these feelings like a rebel base
And hope they fade as when a Jedi dies.
But, how I long to touch your smooth, white face,
And get lost deep in your dark giant eyes.

No Jedi lie could make me love you more.
My mind may be weak, but this force is strong
You are the one that I've been looking for.
I promise I will never move along.

My only hope is that you feel the same.
My passion for you burns like Aunt Beru. (HAHAHAHA)
Though some may say that I don't have great aim,
The thing I seem to miss the most is you.

Behind this mask is one who loves you so.
I know you do too. So just say, 'I know."
