Rhetorical verse for Tea Time in L.A. #42- (Talking about Buffy as Shakespeare would have. [g]) Posted by: forensicpoetry - May 10, 2002, 6:20 PM
This is part of a special new parallel line of Bronze sonnets . . .
This "line" SPIKE'S SPECIAL BLEND (this is the second part)
Is it true? I'll never tell. [smile]
Do keep in mind that the "surface" of the tale may not be
rhetorical verse in Shakespearean sonnet form }
{BVS_113_01.02}
WHO let himself be beaten near to death
{BVS_113_01.03}
for Buffy's sake. THEN LOVER. . . |
{BVS_113_01.04}
SPIKE BACK TO EVIL. |
{BVS_113_01.06}
my summary of SPIKE's trajectory.
{BVS_113_01.07}
HE SMILES that smile . . . but I will have to wait
{BVS_113_01.08}
for Spike's analysis . . . BECAUSE WE SEE . . .
{BVS_113_01.10}
JAMES NODS to indicate that I should go
{BVS_113_01.11}
enjoy Drusilla's clutches. . . . He's the king
{BVS_113_01.12}
tonight. Who'd argue with him? . . . How'd he know . . .
{BVS_113_01.14}
Beyond Spike's fangs . . . perhaps he is a seer.
{BVS_114_02.01}
Ms. Landau is a charmer. Met her dad
{BVS_114_02.02}
one night at the Egyptian theatre.
{BVS_114_02.03}
He'd never let his daughter love a cad . . .
{BVS_114_02.04}
not even on TV. "No Spike's no cur. . .
{BVS_114_02.06}
the box that Joss (now, Noxon) made for him.
{BVS_114_02.07}
NO MATTER how the Buffy story ends.
{BVS_114_02.08}
The blessing of the Marsters' choice won't dim."
{BVS_114_02.10}
AND SHE is teasing me with her dark moves.
{BVS_114_02.11}
It's fun . . . Drusilla's games . . . and Landau's charms
{BVS_114_02.12}
are quite a combination. IT BEHOOVES . . .
{BVS_114_02.14}
I dance too long and Spike sneaks out the door.
{BVS_115_03.01}
And so, reluctantly, I make my way
{BVS_115_03.02}
back to THE BOOTH where Marsters sips his fine
{BVS_115_03.03}
imported beer. What does he have to say
{BVS_115_03.04}
about the role of SPIKE he's made devine?
{BVS_115_03.06}
he has bestowed on us . . . with his bold strokes
{BVS_115_03.07}
of artistry. The Buffyverse he lifts
{BVS_115_03.08}
with his bare presence. . . . NO, I'm not gay, folks! {ewg}
{BVS_115_03.10}
but naked talent -- visceral and smart.
{BVS_115_03.11}
(The fact that not one Emmy did he win
{BVS_115_03.12}
means the Academy's not worth a fart.)
{BVS_115_03.14}
designers' dreams of some Sid Vicious blonde.
{BVS_116_04.01}
IMAGINE IF "THE XANDER BOX" was filled
{BVS_116_04.02}
with some transcendent actor's scimitar
{BVS_116_04.03}
to cut dumb-joke-boy crap . . . Who would have killed
{BVS_116_04.04}
the idiotic tendencies that mar . . .
{BVS_116_04.06}
The pilot role description IS NOT dumb.
{BVS_116_04.07}
WHY DID a stupid joke become the hinge
{BVS_116_04.08}
that Xander pivots round. (Role's rule of thumb.)
{BVS_116_04.10}
allows his vehicle to go to hell.
{BVS_116_04.11}
It's lucky that he doesn't want more fame.
{BVS_116_04.12}
(Or so I've heard.) ENOUGH 'BOUT XAN . . . I SMELL . . .
{BVS_116_04.14}
What did he say? I'll tell you all . . . next week.
