Hello again, fellow TT fan-fickers.
So I decided, after much (well, not that much) deliberation, that I would post all my TT poems. But seeing as I already have many oneshots and don't wish to have, like, 78 oneshots, I would post them in chapter-like form. Yeah, I don't know, something about having so many oneshots bothers me. Anyway, I'm going to be posting these in the order they were written, so the order doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the content of the poems. I also heard that you're supposed to read stories in the order the author wrote them, not in the order they appeal to you, because then you can see the stages of the author's writing and whatnot.
A couple heads ups: 1) The poems don't connect to each other, although many focus on similar topics/characters. 2) The later poems are, in my opinion, much better than the earlier ones. Bear with me for a few chapters. :-)
This first one was written in April 2005 while I was on a sort of TT poem writing spree. It's about Robin and Slade, and was inspired by the episodes Masks and Haunted. The title, Lights Out, comes from Robin's line in Haunted.
And last but not least, our friend the disclaimer: Would you even believe me if I did own them?
He knows not what he's chasing
He only knows it's right
He'll follow it in morning
He'll follow it by night
And when the switch happens
It can happen any day
When the Prey becomes the Hunter
And the Hunter becomes the Prey
Don't underestimate the power
That comes from deep within
To turn a superhero
Into his hated kin
A driving force takes over
And switches off the light
Confusion and betrayal
Win the final fight
He knows not what he's chasing
But he knows the day will come
When the strength and hatred merge
And Hunter and Prey become one
So that was the first one. I hope you guys liked it. Now let me tell you a sad story. See that button that says "Review" on it? Well it's depressed because its girlfriend left it and now it doesn't have a place to stay and because of sleep deprivation it lost its job, so now it can't afford cable anymore (why it needed cable when it doesn't have a house is beyond me). Anyway, you can help this poor little button by pressing it. Thanks for reading!
