Buffy Verse Sonnets #17-20/154: REMINDER: Tea Time thread will post at 7:00 PM Bronze Posted by: forensicpoetry - Mar 31, 2002, 2:30 PM
rhetorical verse in Shakespearean sonnet form }
{BVS_017_01.02}
to form the Buffyverse within your mind,
{BVS_017_01.03}
we must go back before the first film can
{BVS_017_01.04}
for "Welcome To The Hellmouth" filled.
Rewind . . .
{BVS_017_01.06}
When Gellar read, she read for Cordy's role.
{BVS_017_01.07}
And only when sweet Katie Holmes had passed
{BVS_017_01.08}
(turned up her button nose at vamp patrol) . . .
{BVS_017_01.10}
(A snotty, little "bitcha's" Sarah's style --
{BVS_017_01.11}
much better matched to Cruel Intentions' hues.
{BVS_017_01.12}
She's much more fun to watch when she plays vile.)
{BVS_017_01.14}
And taught her how to do the hero's walk.
{BVS_018_02.01}
"THE SOFTER SIDE OF" SARAH was designed
{BVS_018_02.02}
by Joss to win our hearts. And it rang true
{BVS_018_02.03}
enough for those who aren't completely blind
{BVS_018_02.04}
to Sarah's vivid charms (more than a few).
{BVS_018_02.06}
please note that I've watched ev'ry episode.
{BVS_018_02.07}
If S.M.G. did not quite fit the glove
{BVS_018_02.08}
of Joss's vision, that flaw prob'bly sowed . . .
{BVS_018_02.10}
Would I've loved Giles and Willow quite as much
{BVS_018_02.11}
if Buffy'd stolen scenes like Dawson's Jo?
{BVS_018_02.12}
Is B. too short and mean? Well, just a touch.
{BVS_018_02.14}
(But if you see Ms. Gellar, please don't tell.){grin}
{BVS_019_03.01}
BUT THOSE ARE "LONG SHOT" COMMENTS, let's zoom in
{BVS_019_03.02}
on how the story grows in that first show.
{BVS_019_03.03}
Let's versify the TEASER scenes, wherein
{BVS_019_03.04}
the tone is set for where we are to go.
{BVS_019_03.06}
WE TRACK past Giles' lair to a SCIENCE LAB. . .
{BVS_019_03.07}
WE "CRAWL" across the floor to |
{BVS_019_03.08}
A "THING" outside the window |
{BVS_019_03.10}
TWO TEENS. THE BOY SAYS come, let's go inside.
{BVS_019_03.11}
The boy is confident. Is this some ploy?
{BVS_019_03.12}
For her -- it seems -- this is a spooky ride.
{BVS_019_03.14}
He says they're all alone . . .|
{BVS_020_04.01}
THE BIG
{BVS_020_04.02}
who was the vampire. HE who was the prey.
{BVS_020_04.03}
And with this scene, Joss did his flag unfurl.
{BVS_020_04.04}
With this, the Buffyverse went on display.
{BVS_020_04.06}
would take more verses than I mean to write.
{BVS_020_04.07}
The characters we meet as they raise sails
{BVS_020_04.08}
on Whedon's sea... For us, love at first sight.
{BVS_020_04.10}
begins to clog the sew'rs of Sunnydale.
{BVS_020_04.11}
Trajectories of story gain their thrust
{BVS_020_04.12}
and set our orbit. Joss has made the sale.
{BVS_020_04.14}
about ep number one. Please testify.
