Rhetorical verse for Tea Time in L.A. #30 - (Talking about Buffy as Shakespeare would have. [g]) Posted by: forensicpoetry - Apr 23, 2002, 6:31 PM
rhetorical verse in Shakespearean sonnet form }
{BVS_078_01.02}
of PORTALS . . . new beginnings. SHAME ON JOSS!
{BVS_078_01.03}
SINCE Giles has research running out his pores,
{BVS_078_01.04}
HOW COULD god Whedon let the writer gloss . . .
{BVS_078_01.06}
of the whole universe to modern slang?
{BVS_078_01.07}
The two-faced statue's meaning's been undone
{BVS_078_01.08}
by sloppy usage. HENCE this verse harangue.
{BVS_078_01.10}
A fresh start as our hist'ry turns the page.
{BVS_078_01.11}
The sacred Janus month, not one of fear,
{BVS_078_01.12}
but opportunity for a new age.
{BVS_078_01.14}
and year's first month -- to Janus Romans pray.
{BVS_079_02.01}
BUT IN THE EPISODE NAMED "HALLOWEEN"
{BVS_079_02.02}
the villain prayed to Janus to unleash
{BVS_079_02.03}
a chaos on identity's routine.
{BVS_079_02.04}
WELL . . . blame it on the writer's mind's pastiche . . .
{BVS_079_02.06}
To fixate on the two-faced statue's coin
{BVS_079_02.07}
of common usage that pops rather fast
{BVS_079_02.08}
into our minds when pieces we adjoin.
{BVS_079_02.10}
to hold his work together should expect
{BVS_079_02.11}
his effort for the beautiful will fail.
{BVS_079_02.12}
More care, Joss, in the nails that you select.
{BVS_079_02.14}
if standards for your quality aren't met.
{BVS_080_03.01}
A "MISH-MASHED THEME"? . . . What do I mean by this?
{BVS_080_03.02}
"COHERENCE" is the term that I will use
{BVS_080_03.03}
to represent the goal -- the perfect kiss
{BVS_080_03.04}
that comes when all things "click" to light the fuse . . .
{BVS_080_03.06}
within a magic circle: beauty's mark.
{BVS_080_03.07}
WHEN DONE RIGHT, all the characters emerge
{BVS_080_03.08}
with greater clarity. BUT HERE I BARK . . .
{BVS_080_03.10}
I paw the episode for scraps of meat..
{BVS_080_03.11}
(I can't help if I do this ev'ry time.)
{BVS_080_03.12}
I want my slobb'ring verse to find what's sweet.
{BVS_080_03.14}
when tossed a salad.
{BVS_081_04.01}
NO HELP, of course, will fix what has transpired.
{BVS_081_04.02}
This episode is firmly in the can.
{BVS_081_04.03}
The only fix would be if I was hired {g}
{BVS_081_04.04}
a long, long time ago. Instead of fan, . . .
{BVS_081_04.06}
I swear the rhyme has led me down this path.
{BVS_081_04.07}
A blatant plea for pay would make me groan.
{BVS_081_04.08}
To bark for money? Give that dog a bath!
{BVS_081_04.10}
is killing time until I wrap this up
{BVS_081_04.11}
with some profound remark that will abide
{BVS_081_04.12}
within your memory. But, Buttercup, . . .
{BVS_081_04.14}
got lost when money happened in my way.
