THE BUFFYVERSE & TEA TIME

A TEA TIME EPISODE OF MISCOMMUNICATION . . . AND REDEMPTION

 
(BUFFY-VERSE SERIES) SONNET #039 of 154
My Bad (Expectation):
a sonnetized apology to yelnif who sings so well

rhetorical verse in Shakespearean sonnet form

 }
{BVS_039_01.01} AMIDST "THE CHANGE OF HATS" my wires got crossed.

{BVS_039_01.02} Your syllables were perfectly haiku.

{BVS_039_01.03} Akin "The Puppet Show," suspicions tossed

{BVS_039_01.04} a "bad behaving" Londoner not you . . .

 
{BVS_039_01.05} . . . into my frame of reference when I read

{BVS_039_01.06} your lines. My expectation was "no way"

{BVS_039_01.07} would holywater write verse (lest we're wed_{g})

{BVS_039_01.08} to TEA TIME's rule (no matter what I say).

 
{BVS_039_01.09} The expectations in "The Puppet Show"

{BVS_039_01.10} had Scoobies judging wrong in ev'ry take.

{BVS_039_01.11} The slayer thought the puppet was her foe.

{BVS_039_01.12} Vice versa. Like so, yelnif. My mistake.

 
{BVS_039_01.13} I blush, I beg, I lay at yelnif's feet

{BVS_039_01.14} my full apology. Her song is sweet.
