The Stafford Challenge, Day 13

Back to ekphrastic mode. A little sci-fi poem this time. A curtal sonnet. Star Wars Fantasy After a photo of Carrie Fisher and her stunt double Tracey Eddon sunbathing Double Princess Leias — who’d a-thunk it? Both in the gold metal bikinis forced by Jabba the Hutt in his stone palace on Tatooine. A teenage fanboy’s wet dream. The future General Leia’s first relaxed moment. Two General Leias before the fight against dread Palpatine, puppeteer of Leader Snoke of the First Order. But that’s in the future. She lays out — no, they — enjoying the double sun’s warm rays. Young Leias. —Draft by Vince Gotera    [Do not copy or quote . . . thanks.] Carrie Fisher and stuntwoman Tracey Eddon behind the scenes on the set of Revenge of the Jedi (c. 1982) Friends, won’t you comment, please? Love to know what you’re thinking. Ingat, everyone.  ヅ
