Rhetorical verse for Tea Time in L.A. #39 - (Talking about Buffy as Shakespeare would have. [g]) Posted by: forensicpoetry - May 07, 2002, 4:54 PM
rhetorical verse in Shakespearean sonnet form }
{BVS_105_01.02}
Commiserating. They know what "guys" are.
{BVS_105_01.03}
Their tone is that they each would like to smack
{BVS_105_01.04}
all guys right in their kissers -- knock them far . . .
{BVS_105_01.06}
AS BUFFY SAYS when learning werewolf facts.
{BVS_105_01.07}
"A typical" (bad) "man". While Giles at length
{BVS_105_01.08}
explains it's not their fault. (For once, reacts . . .
{BVS_105_01.10}
with giggles). Werewolves don't choose life as fiend.
{BVS_105_01.11}
They're human underneath and should not die.
{BVS_105_01.12}
THE SLAYING LAW, IN THIS CASE, CONTRAVENED.
{BVS_105_01.14}
Beneath their fangs and fur . . . there is a soul.
{BVS_106_02.01}
SO BUFFY PUTS HER STAKE DOWN . . . grabs a chain,
{BVS_106_02.02}
while Giles prepares some tranquilizer darts.
{BVS_106_02.03}
And Willow suffers existential pain
{BVS_106_02.04}
'cause Oz -- with all his other kinds of smarts -- . . .
{BVS_106_02.06}
from Willow. Aching in all tender joints,
{BVS_106_02.07}
she lashes out (no Willow, nonchalance!)
{BVS_106_02.08}
her unbound tongue on Oz. And scoring points . . .
{BVS_106_02.10}
Well this is quite surprising . . . who'd have thought
{BVS_106_02.11}
a wolf was under there? Her wounded pride
{BVS_106_02.12}
would wait. It's time to run or she'll get caught.
{BVS_106_02.14}
(If I don't have some fun, I will retire.)
{BVS_107_03.01}
WHAT'S ANGEL DOING . . . in this werewolf show?
{BVS_107_03.02}
He's giving guys and werewolves a bad rep.
{BVS_107_03.03}
He wouldn't give a scrawny monkey toe{g}
{BVS_107_03.04}
for anything like love. NO, he would step . . .
{BVS_107_03.06}
And Buffy's heart's a mummy (bandage-wise).
{BVS_107_03.07}
This Angel-guy's the poster for unkind.
{BVS_107_03.08}
And sadly, for some women, paradise.
{BVS_107_03.10}
And maybe in real life for all I know.
{BVS_107_03.11}
I'm writing FILLER here, and counting toes, {g}
{BVS_107_03.12}
because I didn't count my quatrains. Doh!)
{BVS_107_03.14}
He's not the one she loved . . . He's been replaced.
{BVS_108_04.01}
Though Buffy's "superficial" love runs deep,
{BVS_108_04.02}
it's not as deep as evil Angel thinks.
{BVS_108_04.03}
Of course, "deep" thinking doesn't fit a creep.
{BVS_108_04.04}
The logic of his character just stinks.
{BVS_108_04.06}
to hammer Buffy into a square hole
{BVS_108_04.07}
the writers made for her. For "love", a fool.
{BVS_108_04.08}
Quotation'd "love" . . . Not diamond. Lump of coal.
{BVS_108_04.10}
at poignant Buffy-Angel LOVE . . . back then.
{BVS_108_04.11}
BUT NOW as end of sonnet sequence nears
{BVS_108_04.12}
I clearly see each writer's deadly sin . . .
{BVS_108_04.14}
(For Joss's labor, see how he's repaid?){smile}
{
THE END # # #
HAIKU CODA
When was it I said
CODA CODA
Or maybe he thinks
CODA CODA CODA
But his father wrote
. . . from Joss's grandpa
