"Fool for Love" Spaiku, Part 9: Appellation

[mere_ubu]

Hi. *waves weakly* Well, so much for my recent vow to post every week. It seems that RL conspires against the composition of haiku at every turn. Now that BtVS, S2 (read Spikealicious) episodes are fast approaching at fantas_magoria, I have high hopes of both getting on a more regular writing schedule and doing more with S2 while the big FFL project continues to

These are SUPERB.

Thank you very much! I'm so hormonally challenged today that your validating f/b almost made me wibble; I've been fussing with this batch at odd stolen moments for so long now that I was beginning to think they'd never be done. Poetry and PMS probably shouldn't mix. :)

Edited to reduce the number of "so"s. Geezalou.

Y'know, you make these look so EASY. They're like perfect little amuse-bouches in a 5-star restaurant.

::sniffles and hugs you:: What a wonderful compliment. Some of them are easy and just kinda show up all ready to go, but pointing to a scene and saying, "Haiku this" is a different thing. It's nice to know that the end result is the same!

It is TOTALLY CANON that Spike ate those partygoers. Silly comic book writer people!

I KNOW! Halfrek, Shmalfrek. *lol* We all know what happened there. It's not like he would have sent them a candygram and let it go at that.

*shivers* (the good kind!)
They're great.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed them.

These are wonderful

All great, but IV & V make me shiver!

Thank you! I always figured that the first thing he would have done is go back and eat those snooty people from the party. (Esp. since he gets the whole "railroad spike" idea from them!)

William’s dead and gone,
hidebound servitude ended;
he’ll not share a name.

Oh, yes - never ever called "William" again for him.

Re-christened himself:
an instrument of torture
baptized in bloodshed.
The legendary dark warrior is born.

Fabulous as always.

Thank you! Sometimes I worry that I'm picking these scenes apart too much, but then I thought, hey, it's the unveiling of The Name! Surely it deserves its own little haiku episode. :)
