 In the Angel finale ‘Not Fade Away‘, Spike finally has a chance to read his poetry to an appreciative audience. Here is the full poem that he was writing in a flashback in Fool For Love: “My soul is wrapped in harsh repose, Spike recites the poem in a biker bar and the crowd love it. Whilst they are applauding, Spike shouts, “That was for Cecily! All right. This next one’s called The Wanton Folly of Me Mum“. This is a reference to Lies My Parents Told Me, when we saw Spike’s mother make a pass at him. |

Hysterical scene. It’s interesting that even after all the years, he’s still hurting from Cecily’s rejection, as evidenced by the fact that he has to drink himself stupid in order to get the courage to read his poems.
I love that he finally gets the validation. (Though Angel did admit that he liked Spike’s poetry.)

The moment that everyone cheers for Spike’s poem is so cool. It’s my favorite moment of Angel and I love that he gets that validation.

I can’t help wondering if Spike ever wrote any poetry about Buffy. I think it would fit perfectly into his season 5 unrequited love for her… wouldn’t it?

bollocks.
cavemen or astronauts?
(and, no, the astronauts do not have weapons.)

It would make sense for Spike to write some poetry about Buffy in season five. It would fit in well with the whole obession-area that Buffy found in “Crush.”

Surely Spike has written poetry about Buffy. He must have, given his nature, this is quite the opportunity for fanfic.

It would be neat to see if he did write any, and if so, was it all lovey-dovey, or was it more conflicted like his song in the musical?
