Title: Foyle's Trout
Fandom: Foyle's War [TV]
Form: English sonnet
Rating: Gen
Length 108
No. of lines: 14
Prompt:

Above the water, there’s a quiet chap
who never doubts my keen intelligence.
To him, with fin, I tip my scaly cap,
in admiration of his reticence.

His hunt of me is respite, sanctioned leave,
a holiday from sorrows, old and new.
I lead him on a merry chase and grieve
the loss when bigger fish he must pursue.

I’m never tempted by his makeshift flies.
I’m never sorry for the hours we spend.
Those bits of feathered twine are no disguise,
no matter how he tries, my worthy friend.

Between the stream’s thick mud and reeds, we play:
he seeks, and I’m the one who gets away.

Title: Inspector Maigret Sets a Trap
Fandom: Inspector Maigret [TV, 2016, specifically episode 1: Maigret Sets a Trap]
Poetic form: rondeau [French! But of course!]
Length: 100
Rating: Gen
Notes: for the 100 Fandoms prompt .027: fear.

Inspector Maigret sets a clever trap.
In order to avoid more deaths, mishap,
he steps into a ruthless killer’s shoes;
while all the headlines scream the news:
FIEND STRIKES AGAIN WHILE MAIGRET’S COPPERS NAP!

Five months without arrest or useful scrap;
the whole of Paris minds the lag and gap.
From spire to gutter, all revile, abuse
Inspector Maigret

To draw the wily killer to his lap,
Inspector Maigret fills the Montmatre map
with pretty bait the killer can’t refuse,
a wager no one wants to win or lose,
as presses start to pound their type and tap:
“INSPECTOR MAIGRET…”

Title: Ambitious
Fandom: Faust [Goethe]
Form: Terza rima
Rating: Gen
Length 100
No. of lines: 14
Prompt: Ambitious

In Gothic chamber sits ambitious Faust,
a scholar, apt, but restless, ill at ease;
he spars with Life in wild, pernicious joust

until he calls up Mephistopheles.
A bargain’s driven home. A pact is signed.
They set about, a pair of circus fleas,

performing tricks and sucking blood divined.
When draught from witch’s pot is drained,
the learned Doctor finds his soul consigned

to beastly woo. He leaves poor Gretchen chained
to darkness, lunacy, dishonour, strife,
and then advances down a path most pained.

At last, Faust winnows wheat from chaff most rife:
his striving wins salvation, not his life.
