This thread is for Buffy based Haiku. I've reposted those previously posted in Part 69 and 70. Anne D. named them 'Spike-ku' but of course you can do Angel, Xander, Buffy haikus also...in fact, I'll start us off with one for....guess who. Dark-eyed, flirting, bold. Taking Tara's place swiftly. No wonder.Pierced tongue.

Here's my first and so far only:
Teeth in a white mouth. Eyes kindle gold in the dark. Vampire smile. Eternal death.

With small talent I Write bloody awful poems Haiku is shortest
and...
Spike at the Hellmouth Soul bright as a thousand suns Effulgent at last
and...
Thanks, Mistress Yoda On a chilly fall morning Warm praise is welcome

Spike's smile enchants me Like the sun at day's dawning It puts dark at bay

So he's powerless? If he saved the world through love May we all be weak.

Patti:
I am posting this summary/paraphrase of some rules I found about writing haikus . . . feel free to delete it and copy it to your initial post, or to remove it entirely if it doesn't fit with your vision for this thread.
Personally, I'd like to try writing some of these, but I can't keep the rules in my head for more than two minutes. So I thought this might be useful for others as well:
The rules of haiku:
1) three lines 2) arranged by counting syllables, 5, 7, 5
Here is a sample haiku by someone named Basho:
That brown leaf I saw drifting back up toward its branch was a butterfly.
With simplicity and brevity, the writer should strive to reveal his or her unique perspective on the subject matter chosen. The good haiku has been compared to a good joke (with set up and punch line).

Her beauteous smile Doth set the stones atwitter And my heart aglow.

Brevity, heart, soul and wit. Picture in my mind. I love this stuff.
