Kat Myrman was speaking about the sun not dying yet. She said hopefully by the time it did we would have found new planets, even Galaxies to go to. I told her that I was sure I had been born too soon as I have a great desire to travel through space. I want to be a star ship pilot.
Here is a little silliness I wrote some years back for NaPoWriMo
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!
Yup that should of been me!

Wow! She is (you are) fierce! 😉
May 07, 2018 @ 13:32:38
Oh! I wish… silly isn’t but…
May 07, 2018 @ 13:38:21
Not silly. 😉
May 07, 2018 @ 14:05:43
😱💜💜
May 07, 2018 @ 14:05:42
Great stuff! You really got into character for this one. I had a ball reading this. 🙂
May 07, 2018 @ 14:06:56
I had a ball writing it , I had forgotten what I had written 💜💝 but I still mean it, every word! 💜
May 07, 2018 @ 17:18:27
Always good to connect with the inner super heroine/warrior. Great read.
May 07, 2018 @ 17:22:16
Thank you
..oh! I wish! 😁💜
May 07, 2018 @ 17:29:41
The Universe is a place of infinite possibilities. 😊 ❤
May 07, 2018 @ 17:32:09
And I want to be out there exploring them… I doubt NASA would want a grandma with a twice broken back ( however young she feels inside her head) 💜💜💜😀😀😀
May 07, 2018 @ 17:37:35
I sympathize, my arthritic knee and bad back have scuppered (in my mind) certain options. Regardless, you have a fantastic imagination, which opens up huge vistas. On a practical level, studying Astronomy or Cosmology may be a balm for the spirit…
May 07, 2018 @ 17:47:20
You know I had not thought of those two options …an excellent thought..thanks Jan 💜💜
May 07, 2018 @ 18:29:54
I’m glad the suggestions helped. Best not to dwell on regrets but that’s easy to say and not do. Much luck, you go for it! 🙂
May 07, 2018 @ 18:36:32
I shall 💜💜

What’s your altoEgo
May 07, 2018 @ 18:55:33
Well, it may seem a strange one, G’Kar from Babylon Five for his resilience, warrior’s spirituality and wisdom. As a woman it may seem a strange choice but those qualities resonate with me.
May 07, 2018 @ 19:04:07
Yes he is a magnificent Character, I have a couple of Babylon 5 Box sets I loved that series too. We’d make a great pair. 💜💜
May 07, 2018 @ 19:39:41
Kindred Spirits! 😊 ❤❤
May 07, 2018 @ 19:40:17
Yes indeed 💜💝
May 09, 2018 @ 03:57:38
This is amazing, Willow. I don’t know this character but I will look her up.
May 09, 2018 @ 05:57:46
There was a TV series called Battle Star Galatica, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlestar_Galactica_(2004_TV_series) it was a sequel to the 1978 series of the same name. There were also a couple of films to go with it. I fell in love with the lead heroine Kara Thrace (Starbuck) . Silly ambition of mine to be a starship pilot! 💜💜
May 09, 2018 @ 14:07:30
Thank you, Willow. I know the earlier series.
May 09, 2018 @ 15:39:09
The second version was right up my street 💜
