Being new, I missed this fabulous contest by a day, and spent some time banging my head against the wall. I read every single poem - how could you resist? They were *all* so bloody awful. I thought some were good-bad, and others were bad-bad, and it took me a while to figure out whether I should vote for bad-bad, since the point was bloody awfulness, or good-bad. I narrowed it down to 12 finally, and reread them all aloud, and finally got to five, including both types. You all did great work, and I really enjoyed the poems.
Before I read them, and after I stopped banging my head against the wall, I whipped off a poem for Spike which I posted in the lounge, but I don't think it's been seen much. As I am ridiculously proud of it, and I will never take the opportunity to write a poem about Spike again, I'm posting it here, too.
Advice to Spike
Of whom doth prophecy foretell
Vampire* spared eternal hell
The be-all powers’ dark position
On who ith worthy being given
The joys of mortal life forbidden.
Rheumatism, false teeth, pains,
Aches, heartburn, and sore chilblains.
Angelus, William? It is hidden
Who shall reap the empty vision.
But Spike, the Bad! Oh, Bloody William!
Think long and hard - such fatal prison!
Is it worth it? Dust to dust?
Your soul is yours and keep it thus.
Big Bad needs not such empty fuss.
Let Angel rot in glory festive,
Satined casket, no longer restive.
We know in hell you’ll ne’er abide,
So turn the mortal thing aside.
We’ll wait for you at heaven’s gate,
Where all the smokers congregate.
*note – Andrew’s literary pronunciation of the word vampire is required here.
The last line wrote itself. I had intended for it to be more inspiring.

Yeah, there were. And it's hard to predict what would win cause you don't know if the voters wanted something funny or serious. I think I'm gonna go watch watch Angel 5 (just got it today from Amazon) and check this tomorrow, cause it's driving me crazy.
And again, best of luck to all, Can't wait to find out who won!!!!

Thanks for being so patient. -CMK Take your time! We're in no hurry! *chatters teeth* Well, Yes that's a lie. But we can practice our virtue of patience in the mean time. I understand how much of a bite in the neck HW can really be. Did you get that? Bite in the neck... Like a vampire... Yeah...
