"Something Blue" Spaiku, Part 3: Love Was Phony

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

I.
O! happy couple:
the only two amongst them
untouched by the spell.


II.
Amidst the skirmish
they grapple with hands and mouths--
then, befuddlement.


III.
Spike lips! Lips of Spike!!
Love transmogrifies into
abomination.


IV.
Horror: BLOODY HELL!!
He bickered with the Slayer
over cake toppers.

Hee! These are such fun!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked them; they were fun to write, too. Is it cruel that I enjoy chronicling his humiliations so much? :P

The titles are killing me.

That's lovely and I love the way you seized on that scene.

And I can't believe you used transmogrifies so wonderfully!

I'm so happy that you dig the titles. *lol* I have to admit that there was some diabolical cackling when I came up with those.

Thank you! Transmogrify is a fun word. I was in a goofy mood one night last week (if you can imagine such a thing) and went on some kind of crazy haiku bender. The next morning I looked back through the nearly illegible entries in my little notebook and went, "Whoa! I don't remember doin' that."

Absolutely perfect little snapshots of the wackiness of Something Blue. He bickered with the Slayer over cake toppers. :: dies ::

Aww, thank you! I had so much fun with these, and I'm glad that line worked for you. I had quite the little list going, but "cake topper" seemed like the one that Spike would find the most humiliating in hindsight. *g*

LOL - is is cheating to comment on all of them at one time? I love your Spaikus! I'm sure I've said that before, but it bears repeating.

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

*lol* No, it's not cheating! *crosses heart* You will never hear me complain about feedback. Thank you for reading! :D

Outrageously funny! :)

Hee! Exactly, baby!

*lol* Poor clueless things! I almost feel sorry for them. (But not enough to stop me from writing silly haiku about their misfortunes!) :P

I'm dying of the giggles here. I *love* these, that last one especially. Oh, the shame! What has the Big Bad been reduced to? *pets his hand* *even though that would make him more testy* :P

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Oh noes! *worried* Don't die! *administers emergency latte* Better?

I had a list of potential things to plug into that line like "seating charts" or "boutonnieres" or "wedding bands," but "cake toppers" struck me as the most mortifying. I almost feel sorry for him . . . but not enough to not mock his pain. *cackles*
