Day 14 NaPoWriMo : today prompt is to write a poem in the Persona of a Super Hero/ Heroine . Well for me there is only one I can pick and that is Kara Thrace alias Starbuck from the New Battle Star Galactica . She has been my hero ever since I watched every episode from every series and the films. She is the best reluctant super heroine ever. In fact I wrote a poem about wishing to be her last year. Sorry I digress.

Starbuck
Beneath this hard exterior there’s no soft marshmallow goo, there beats a heart of stone.
There’s never been any support for me so what I’ve achieved I’ve done on my own.
My parent’s never cared for me much so I never make any deep ties.
The only true love in my life is my star ship and the skies!
There is one man who could ever touch my soul but fate always intervenes ,
When I get together with Will Adarma there’s usually ugly drunken scenes.
I think he only sees me as one of the lads, so make out I don’t give a frack.
But I really fancy him, so ladies watch out or you’ll get my weapon in your back.
We have to save the worlds from the evil Cylon attack
We had them beaten once , but they evolved and now they’re coming back.
They have morphed to chrome and blood all covered with skin.
They are clever now, they infiltrated Caprica with spies
They blew up our worlds so we took the fleet and again flew into the skies.
In Space we regrouped and planned, and I got to work closely with my man.
I will lead what’s left of our pilots and beloved ships
I am the best star fighter pilot but the fracks won’t give me shoulder pips.
It’s true I like a drink, gambling and a good cigar
I am damn good in bed I’ll give you a good time what ever rank you are!
I am the best pilot as I have said before
I shall find the Cylon’s mothership and give the frackers what for!
I’ll rip the skin off Number Six and I’ll show her no quarter.
She beat the living crap out of me and then denied me even water.
I’ll lead you all to safety find you all another world
For I am really an angel that keeps her wings unfurled!
I am that star you see at night when it is darkest before the dawn.
I am the one who will shoot straightest so none of you need be forlorn.
I am the mighty Starbuck , Kara Thrace is my real name .
But what ever you call me I shall save you all the fracking same!
