Musings of a fireplace

Creative writing

The anthracite 

is strong in this one

Thought the Sith fireplace

Burns like a light-sabre through butter 

Much better than the old logs 

Especially Jame's Kirks - they were full of crap

This new coal helped me create...

I created Luke...luke-warm water

 with the heat of my fiery temperament

The emperor is a constant companion-set

since I became the hottest ticket here.

He even gave me a grate name

Yes...I like being called 

Hearth Vader !!

You just gotta laugh at the serious story behind this story, That Luke warm, was just to good to be true.
As for beam me up Scotty. Scotty really should have retorted. What the f**k you doing down there in the first place. Though Hearth Vader. You don't want him visiting you anytime soon. lol

[Tony Jordan]

Haha - now that's the Scotty I would have loved Simon Pegg to have brought out in his portrayal - a canny Scot who takes no sh*te !! lol
Loved that review Paul !!

[FJ Davis]

You carried this off quite nicely, Tony.
Entertainment most creative!

i am always amazed at your depths, twists and turns. one would need a pick-ax with helmet and light to explore the depths of you and still need a ticket ...

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

You are a Word-Master! Crack me up every time....Star Trek to Star Wars to "Luke Warm-water" and "Hearth Vader"- priceless humor! Caprain Kirk would throw a coronary! Love your wit and humor. Thank you for this my friend!

[barleygirl]

Being a renegade, I've never watched any of the Star Wars movies, so I'm not fully plugged in to your every clever reference . . . but even with limited background to draw from, I totally love your amazing word play in this poem! I have the ultimate admiration for imaginations that can combine the idea of a fireplace and this movie series. Who thinks of stuff like this? It's amazing to me, a more straightforward & linear writer. The "luke . . . lukewarm" . . . and "grate name" are just a couple of your playful word craftings (((HUGS)))

[Tony Jordan]

BG - you didnt miss much. I take the stand you did back then, these days with Game Of Thrones and the rest. I can see right through the franchise-ess of it all now.
I prefer old B&W movies which had to have a good story instead of special effects. The most recent being 'Saturday Night, Sunday Morning," - kitchen-sink drama at its zenith.
Thank you for a smashing review dear heart
(hugs)

[barleygirl]

Yes, it's the special effects that bore me about these types of movies. I want to be personally engaged with characters living real lives! *wink! wink!*

[Sami Khalil]

May The Force be with you. A very creative piece that speaks of our fondness on childhood characters we watched and enjoyed tremendously as you have just done. You creativity is limitless...:)..............

[Tony Jordan]

And may it always be with you Sami.
You're too kind Sir.
(hugs)

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome....:::))))

[Great Aunt Astri]

Yeah, but good utter tosh! You have used words cleverly. I only saw and heard glimpses of these things as my children followed them on telly, but I thought your poem made sense , even though I probably did not get all the references. I like sitting by the fireside anyway!

[Tony Jordan]

And we don't get all the heat, light or warmth of the fire GAA but it doesn't mean we can't enjoy it :)
Thanks for dropping by. Good to see you back again. :)

[Great Aunt Astri]

I got fidgety, sitting in the garden. Too much relaxation is not a good thing!

[Tony Jordan]

lol - I wish my legs would learn to relax - blooming RLS is doing my head in - hahaa

[Alisa Js]

Hi Tony,

Quite the clever piece here...

Nicely done, you!

Alisa

[Tony Jordan]

Thank you for indulging my immature bent Alisa.

[andrew mitchell]

witty and clever Tony, is this from the captain's log?
May the force be with you!

[Tony Jordan]

The captain's log is always in 'motion' mate.
May the Delhi belly never be with you.

[emmajoy]

I understood the Hearth Vader bit..

[Tony Jordan]

The whole thing is basically stretching that take on the name to the nth degree, to my shame Em, lol. I'm glad you got the jist.
