Rhetorical verse for Tea Time in L.A. #44- (Talking about Buffy as Shakespeare would have. [g]) Posted by: forensicpoetry - May 14, 2002, 6:49 AM
THE FIRST THREE SONNETS FOR TODAY
This "line" called SPIKE'S SPECIAL BLEND is telling the story of . . .
Do keep in mind that the "surface" of the tale may not be
rhetorical verse in Shakespearean sonnet form
{BVS_127_01.02}
PERHAPS TOO MUCH, man . . . though I'm grateful. Much.
{BVS_127_01.03}
Without my setting, I'm a lump of coal.
{BVS_127_01.04}
The Buffyverse gave me a way to touch . . .
{BVS_127_01.06}
Hey, I just do the job. I do my best,
{BVS_127_01.07}
but if Joss hadn't framed the house you see,
{BVS_127_01.08}
I couldn't decorate Spike's room. . . . I'm blessed . . .
{BVS_127_01.10}
Not just for lack of talent . . . but no space
{BVS_127_01.11}
that's perfectly prepared. . . . Bad role's are jail.
{BVS_127_01.12}
And, man, I've been there. See Spike's pretty face?
{BVS_127_01.14}
The Buffy show atones for all my crimes."
{SPIKE CONTINUES ...}
{BVS_128_02.02}
The title character{Buffy} has been to hell
{BVS_128_02.03}
and heaven . . . then dragged back. . . |
{BVS_128_02.04}
THAT SPAN OF POSSIBILITY? . . . Just smell . . .
{BVS_128_02.06}
If Spike smells good to you . . . please think of that.
{BVS_128_02.07}
Before another Spike-song you have sung,
{BVS_128_02.08}
remember I am living off the fat . . .
{BVS_128_02.10}
I ride across it well. I won't deny . . .
{BVS_128_02.11}
but only 'cause Joss made his place my home."
{BVS_128_02.12}
SPIKE WINKS AT ME,
"I heard you were a spy . . .
{BVS_128_02.14}
Or close enough. I'm grateful, man. . . |
{BVS_129_03.01}
. . . A PLAYFUL WORD. Spike knows |
{BVS_129_03.02}
We're back to drinking beer. Just hanging out.
{BVS_129_03.03}
TWO GUYS. No more a pauper and a king.
{BVS_129_03.04}
Especially 'cause when he hears about . . .
{BVS_129_03.06}
And no, I did not argue this with Spike.
{BVS_129_03.07}
He wants to pay? Well I say, what the heck?
{BVS_129_03.08}
What is there 'bout this guy you wouldn't like?
{BVS_129_03.10}
I smile at Juliet across the room
{BVS_129_03.11}
as James and I head out. Yes, she smiles, too.
{BVS_129_03.12}
Just graciousness. But rare. Now off we zoom . . .
{BVS_129_03.14}
That wraps this story up . . . of Spike & me.

THE FOURTH SONNET FOR TODAY ("DEADLY PROPRIETY")
SONNET #130: DEADLY PROPRIETY
{BVS_130_01.01}
"Shhh . . . Hospital . . . No singing," Buffy says.
{BVS_130_01.02}
I will not argue with her, "Killed By Death"
{BVS_130_01.03}
is "filler". You can bypass by Suez
{BVS_130_01.04}
Canal this episode -- the thirtieth.
{BVS_130_01.06}
A MOMENT "tactless" Cordy hits the nail
{BVS_130_01.08}
(like Cordy) TACT is like a Holy Grail . . .
{BVS_130_01.10}
is all it is. And lies get in the way
{BVS_130_01.11}
of true communion. Conversation dies
{BVS_130_01.12}
when you must be too careful what you say.
{BVS_130_01.14}
politeness costs . . . when we play nicey-nice.
