OK just to warn you, I am not a poet, I am just procrastinating on the cleaning!

A poem they say
I must find a way
To make it known
How much BB has grown
From Buffy to Shield
And River in a field
Angel and Dollhouse
With Kaylee in a wh*re house
Out into space
Or down in the LA rat race
Did you fall asleep
Or are you down in the ocean deep
Have we gone back in time
Has Spike brought them to a mine
Lorne ever so green
But Clem is not so mean
Badger wants a deal done
Buffy likes to tell a pun
Off the raid the hospital
You can't stop the signal

I apologise for the Kaylee line, but I couldn't think of anything else to rhyme with dollhouse!

 

[Antho]

He cries in his heart,
As it rains over the town,
What is this darkness ?
Hidden in the deep,

He has commited atrocities,
All this without regrets,
No human consciousness awake,
He was absolute evil,

One day everything changed,
Something happened,
In him we have awakened,
A little spark of humanity,

He knew love,
Perfect happiness,
Alas the demon has reappeared,
He must have been killed,

The path is long,
His fate is in his hands,
He believes in redemption,
That’s what he lives for !

Forgive me, its midnight and I failed high school english...

Spike was a vamp from Nantucket
Who arrived in a very big rukus
He flatted the sign
Had school for a night
And was impressed with a mum who could cut it

Drucilla and Spike simply rocked it
They travelled the world to suck it
They cursed and caused screams
Had very weird dreams
Til Dru found true love and she dropped it

Spike spiralled and cried and he lost it
Left all on his own to toss it
He found a love spell
Gave everyone hell
Then gave up as soon as he got it

Torture was Spikes very best new concept
An attempt to force Drucilla to be compliant and kept
He failed, of course
Backfired full force
Hostile 17. Captured, chipped and inept

Well given @Antho isn't in a house, I think those 150 points are still up for grabs! But I do find it amusing that @Octavia and I both felt like we had to pre warn people about our attempts!

You, Octavia and me we gave our best and that’s all that counts in my eyes 😀. At least we tried 😃. I encourage others to not be afraid, to try and to play with us !
Since I’m off course, I want to say to comfort me that the essential is to participate 😁

As an independent succubus member, can I choose what house gets my points?
Will accept cupcakes for bribes. 😉

She is shy, quiet,
Reserved, her thoughts go unspoken.
“Be quiet, you are a mistake!”
These words she knows and fears.
She fears they are right.

Sitting in the circle,
Alongside her sisters who are not.
A secret separates her from the rest,
One she dare not share
Because she fears it is true.

She has tried to talk before,
Been told no, rejected and denied.
She has learned to be disappointed,
Belittled, and forgotten in the circle,
As she believes she deserves.

But, that has changed.
There is a new one in the circle,
Hair like night fire,
A voice like summer wind.
She opens her heart to love once more.

Great idea HowIMetaSlayer 😀

Can I do the same ? Or more simple Is it too late to join a house ?

It is never too late to join a House. The special point things are a “this week only” type deal, but you may join either Black Thorn (😎) or Sineya (🤓) whenever you feel comfortable. 🙂

As Plasma says, you can join a house whenever, but if you post here: Join a House during the 20th Anniversary, win 20 House points! you'll get your new house extra points

Difficult choice 🤔🤔
In which house are you ?

 

[November]

It's points for playing!
A bit like "a C is a degree" in my eyes 😛

 

[HowiMetdaSlayer]

Here goes nothing...


Willow the wicked
arose from her chamber
besotted; enchanted
with terrible power
she roamed Sunnydale

seeking the wretched
aghast from her wrath
absconded; dejected
his final path
'two to go', she hailed!

Giles the unexpected
awash from his power
besmirched; belittled
with furious candor
'it's too much', she wailed!

beseeching the tormented
abate from her sorrow
consoled; deflated
her crayon yellow
he saved Sunnydale


Be gentle 😳

I missed the details about this due to being laid up with bad health, when is the time limit up for entries.
It has been a long time since I did a Buffy poem, it was for Buffy's 10th Anniversary back in 07 when I was in The Great. Drogyn House

You got a couple of days to get it in

[Last Watcher]

Okay. Only found out about this an hour or so ago.

This is my first attempt......a bit of freeform. I'm really not a poet either 😀

She stood in the Graveyard. Alert, ready.
Reaching out with her senses for the evil she knew was out there.
The darkness was heavy, overbearing.
As the night seemed to know death was near.
Creeping forward, a soundless shadow.
The sharp wood in her hand, reassuring, poised for the strike.
The hunter, the hunted, the line blurred between them.
A movement, dark apon darkness, almost missed.
The prey is sighted.
Footsteps feather-light on rich green that covers the dead.
Yellow eyes shine as sharpened teeth crave for blood.
Slayer! It hisses needlessly, for she knows her calling.
As the darkness holds its breath, the Titans clash.
The Vampire's punch echoes the Slayers pun as it finds only air.
And what was once growing finds that was once beating.
The heart pierced, a silent cry, what was dead is dead once more.
Nothing but dust spiralling towards a heaven it can't reach.
The danger is no more.
Life goes on for People unaware they've been saved.
A slight smile from her Watcher the only thanks she will get.


I'll have another go later. 🙂

BUFFY POEM

​

Sunlight, beheading and stakes, oh my!
Plenty of ways for a vampire to die
There is always a girl to bring vampire death
They turn to dust with their very last breath


Some girls get creative with holy water
To lead a clueless vamp to the slaughter
Sometimes in order to stop being turned
The slayer forces the vamp to be burned


The girl is the Slayer but she’s not immune
Most of these girls die rather soon
She is given a watcher to help her train
To reduce the chances that she will be slain


If a vamp’s not invited, he can’t come in
Your house is safe from the taint of his sin
He’s stronger than anyone but the Slayer
And bonus: she put an end to the Mayor


The vampires roam around at night to see
If they can make you a casualty
Mostly they kill but sometimes you’re sired
Then fear of the Slayer becomes hard-wired

 

[Last Watcher]

Okay, this one's way less pretentious &, well just a bit silly.

The Slayer, the Chosen, the one with the skill.
Who spends every night on the hunt for a kill.
She took on the Master, against all advice.
Died face down in a puddle, though her dress did look nice.
No jiggy with Angel, because of the curse.
But the rebound replacement turned out to be worse.
Spike was the next one, despite all his kills.
But sex got expensive with house repair bills.
Adam was cunning, he tried to cause strife.
But he turned out as lethal as a Swiss Army Knife.
The Girls lived together forsaking careers.
When straight out of left field a sister appears!
The Gang took on Glory, who we think might know Ben?
Till our Girl took a swan-dive & died, yet again!
The Body was tragic, Anya's rant made you cry.
But nobody noticed the ex-demon die.
Now SunnyD's gone, just a hole in the ground.
The First needs a better plan, next time around.
The Vamps are all toast, they took a right stuffing.
From the writer's big hero & his sparkly McGuffin.


Wow! That was difficult, trying to cram all 7 series into 20 lines.
