Flash Challenge Spaiku

[mere_ubu]

For this week's fantas_magoria "School Hard" Flash Challenge: "Spike has fought two Slayers in the last century, and... he's killed them both." says Giles. Write a haiku poem for each of those incidents.

I.
Girl’s fierce blood tells him
what her foreign tongue cannot:
he was meant for this.


II.
Assumes a new name
with his foe’s leather mantle:
Slayer of Slayers.

Yay! More Spaiku!

I really like both of these especially in the context of the challenge, because they only use the info contained within the ep.

All we know from "School Hard" is that Spike killed two Slayers and that one was during the Boxer rebellion. Too many of the other challenge Spaiku include info we don't find out until season 5 and FfL. So, yay you, for keeping the info to what is known from the ep.!

I love the way you distill the story to those handfuls of syllables! You really are able to sum up so much about Spike's identity. Both in trying to separate from Angelus (being "badder"; who could be more bad that a vampire who slays Slayers?) and from William (would William ever have killed anyone, let alone young women?)

Any idea when we will get more FfL Spaiku? **waits hopefully**

Thank you so much! I have to admit that good feedback from you always makes me a little squeeful. I'm not sure that I intentionally limited myself to "School Hard," but I'm glad to hear that it at least seemed that way. Heh. (Mostly I think I was just being stingy and trying not to use anything that I might want later for FFL!) I'm working on my haiku for seasonal_spuffy right now but then will return to FFL soon. I'm also hoping to work my way through S2 more thoroughly now that the fantas_magoria train has pulled into Spikeville.

Hope you have a lovely weekend, lady!
