    Disclaimer: For all of the fanfic sites that I?m posting this on, I do not own any fandoms and thus am not worth suing.
    Title: The Gardener
    Notes: I?m leaving the index info blank this time because the poem?s not really that Star Wars-specific and I might be posting it as an original one on some sites.

    *shoots bunny* I hate plot bunnies that bite as I attempt to finish other fics.

    I am the gardener
    The choice is mine
    Are these the seeds
    Or are they my weeds

    Do I let one die
    And let the other live
    Or let that one die
    And if so, why?

    I am the gardener
    I have the tools
    I prune my plants
    And I?ll answer with a rant

    The answer?s deep
    Deeper than the question
    If you ask me why
    I might have to lie

    I go through my garden
    I fix up the plants
    I kill what I have to kill
    Because that?s my will

    I am the gardener
    I choose and act
    This is a flower
    To be kept for an hour

    The other is a weed
    Not worthy of this garden
    It is the gardener, I
    Who?ll make it die

    it was a very nice poem, Sil. Although I passionately hate mr "I'm doing this for the Galaxy" Sith-boy in profic, this poem still fit him very well. :D

    That was VERY powerful! =D=

    I am the gardener
    The choice is mine
    Are these the seeds
    Or are they my weeds


    That was my favorite stanza. :)

    Darkwriter: Thanks

    Mage: I do, too. I just wrote the poem because I was okay with Jacen up 'til TSW. Then he really started to tick me off.

    VaderLVR: Thanks. I liked that one, too.

    Well, time for me to get to bed, so until tomorrow morning, when I get back to work on my Ben Skywalker fic!

    Saw the title and had to read it. Great poem, whether its sithly or not.

    The choice is mine
    Are these the seeds
    Or are they my weeds


    It conveys a very simple, yet frightening power. I hear it in my head being read by a very creepy voice.

    *shivers*

    A scarry person in our universe, or Star Wars: well done.

    I almost feel bad for the dead plot bunny, it was a good one;)

    The answer?s deep

    Very powerful. (And you can rhyme, too!) Love how you describe his power to control life and death.

    That about sums it up for Jacen [face_worried]

    Great work, Sil =D= Glad to see someone addressing Jacen's role as "the Gardener" and your poem illustrated it very well. It's up to Jacen to decide who lives and dies now ;)

    Loved it! :D
