Hey, haven't done a drabble in awhile...

[agilebrit]

So, I went over the various challenges and came up with this:

Title: Still Trying
Author: babies stole my dingo (agilebrit)
Fandom: Angel
Rating: PG-13
Length: Drabble (100 words)
Disclaimer: Joss is the genius behind these characters; I am but a lowly follower. I make no money from any of this, so please don't sue me.
Written for: wordoftheday100's "pulchritude, turpitude, incubus, bete noire" challenges.
Notes: A Fanged Four drabble. Spike's trying to write poetry again...

---

Bloody hell. No matter how he tried, he couldn't stop, and poetry had become the bete noire of his existence.

My black goddess of pulchritude
I will be your incubus
As we revel in our turpitude

Spike flung the balled-up paper against the wall--then jumped up and rescued it, frantically smoothing the page. Angelus walked in just then, cocking a sardonic eyebrow at him. "Writing again, boy?"

He shielded his nascent poem. "A bit."

"Let me see it when you're done." Angelus clapped him on the shoulder.

Spike stared. "I'll do that." When hell freezes over, you Philistine bastard...

Heh. You cheated! You used three words in his poem, when you know that he uses weird words! Oh, well, I'll let it slide. But just this once.

LOL Not my fault the Words of the Week are so...urple.

Oh, look at all the pretty multi-syllable words...

Love the "Spike stared." XD It conveyed exactly what he was feeling in only two words. Hee. I've missed your drabbles!

Thanx! Need to do a couple more, if I can drag myself away from the salty goodness that's my temp-corporeality fic. Just getting to the point where Spike's going solid permanently...

Never mind! I mentioned nothing about drabbles. Why in the world would I be thinking about drabbles with a temporary corporeality fic on the way? Pfft. I said nothing.
