Daniel
Levin Becker’s prompt causes me to write a poem about Star Wars. His Oulipian
prompt, “the petit récapitul portative” is here.

Theran
Shan
Motivated
by the desire
to
contain village, farms and woodland,
a
mixed urban renewal project,
an
intellectual wherewithal,
became
a hunting ground for talent,
its
formidable top position.
(wherewithal, hunting, top)
The
Old Republic focuses on Shan,
the
eldest son of William Tuckey,
who
played college football as halfback.
Notes
I
made some slight changes. I also switched the order to give the poem some
coherence. I can see this type of random operation leading to a whole series on
nonsensical poems about Theran Shan. Love letters, obsessions, riffs on
nostalgic memories of Aldernaan, a centre for arts and culture before its destruction. Thanks to Daniel Levin Becker for the
prompt.
Post Script
When writing this at 1am, i didn't notice that the prompt called for a final single line at the end. i don't know what the line is in connection to or how it's supposed to be made, so i just followed the model a bit - ish.

along!
