rhetorical verse in Shakespearean sonnet form }
{BVS_139_01.02}
A VILLAIN MAKES AN OCEAN METAPHOR:
{BVS_139_01.03}
eternal mother, birth and cruelty.
{BVS_139_01.04}
POOR BUFFY does not know what words are for.
{BVS_139_01.06}
In Season Six she'll say: DON'T GIVE ME RHYME,
{BVS_139_01.07}
or rather she implies Xan save his breath
{BVS_139_01.08}
(his Klingon love poem joke his latest crime).
{BVS_139_01.10}
her to sing rhyming verses . . . must have cried.
{BVS_139_01.11}
We know that S.M.G. at first perspired.
{BVS_139_01.12}
She'd never do it right .. . BUT THEN she tried.
{BVS_139_01.14}
Until you try, you know, you just can't tell. . . .
{BVS_140_02.01}
. . . if whether you've a gift you didn't know
{BVS_140_02.02}
was waiting to reveal itself to you.
{BVS_140_02.03}
Too bad the odds of finding gifts are low
{BVS_140_02.04}
within the system (but that's nothing new).
{BVS_140_02.06}
within the years our "education" spans
{BVS_140_02.07}
is one I'll work to see is overturned.
{BVS_140_02.08}
MAKE WAR on all the academic clans . . .
{BVS_140_02.10}
the whole of life into their specialty.
{BVS_140_02.11}
IT'S TIME Medieval concepts take a ride
{BVS_140_02.12}
into THE NOW. Network Society . . .
{BVS_140_02.14}
A Harvard grad's read books she should ignore.
{BVS_141_03.01}
An Ivy grad's articulate . . . but tame.
{BVS_141_03.02}
They've read what teachers told them to too well.
{BVS_141_03.03}
I HEAR A SCREAM, "Good Lord! That is the game
{BVS_141_03.04}
we're trying hard to play. Hey, go to hell!"
{BVS_141_03.06}
A sodding gyp. What happened to "Go Fish"?
{BVS_141_03.07}
Dear readers I am fishing, please don't curse,
{BVS_141_03.08}
I'll finish my deep point, then grant your wish.
{BVS_141_03.10}
her into a prosaic frame of mind.
{BVS_141_03.11}
WITHOUT SOME POETRY, a hero's f*cked.
{BVS_141_03.12}
(a slang word used a lot, and not unkind).
{BVS_141_03.14}
An anti-poet . . . That's why she's so dull.
{BVS_142_04.01}
IN LATER SEASONS Buffy's S.A.T's
{BVS_142_04.02}
are very high. . . . I cringe, but that makes sense.
{BVS_142_04.03}
IN SCHOOL she's always guilty . . . tries to please
{BVS_142_04.04}
the teachers (all those times she seems so dense).
{BVS_142_04.06}
There's slaying, then her homework, cram for test.
{BVS_142_04.07}
WHY WASTE YOUR TIME on books & verse disjoint
{BVS_142_04.08}
from what a teacher wants. AND THEN THERE'S REST.
{BVS_142_04.10}
NO TIME FOR solitude. No leisured space
{BVS_142_04.11}
for contemplation . . . until she's retired.
{BVS_142_04.12}
NO TIME FOR better angels . . and true grace.
{BVS_142_04.14}
I choose the path I want. Don't like? Then sue. {smile} {
