More poetry and some ramblings.

I was looking through my documents folder, and I found a poem I wrote when I was sixteen. In fact, it's the poem I wrote for Leonard Nimoy when I went to my first Star Trek convention! I'm surprised, to say the least, because I'd thought it was lost when I got this computer. So, without further ado...

Ode to Leonard Nimoy
By Sarah


I saw you first as Mr. Spock,
With your emotions tightly locked.
I read your second book,
Into your life I got a look.

You directed movies three and four,
And I was left wanting more.
In The Undiscovered Country, you said farewell,
With your voice sounding clear as a bell.

Out of all photographers,
You are the one I prefer.
You love poetry as I do,
Let me give this poem to you.

I did not always like you this much,
It was on Spock that I had the crush.
Now I like both of you,
And wish you to tell Spock, too.

I saw you in a TV ad,
Seeing you in it made me glad.
That commercial was your best work yet,
And a nice end to the entire set.

You said you would never hurt a fan,
Never place a restraining ban.
I ask you this from interest,
Why can’t crazier fans take a rest?

Live long and prosper, Mr. Spock,
With your emotions under a thick lock.
Good luck to you, Mr. Nimoy,
In whatever your talent shall employ.
