Three Cinquain Poems ~ Smoke and Mirrors ~ Spike ~ Buffy

The first one took a while to get out.  Like I mentioned in my last post, I only had the smoke and mirrors thought in my head for inspiration and it was past midnight when I wrote it.  The Spike one came very quickly as he always inspires.  The Buffy one was easier because it's only a modified Cinquain.



By Way of Smoke and Mirrors


Stardom
Bloated, Empty
Deceives famished egos
Ephemeral smoke and mirrors
Grandeur




On the Subject of Spike


Vampire
Bloody, tempting
Sauntering through darkness
My unguarded heart enraptured
Timeless



They Call This One Buffy


The Slayer
Strong, Dutiful
Hunting, quipping, eliminating
Consistently guarding her affections
The Chosen

( A True vs. Modified Cinquain )
