Rhetorical verse for Tea Time in L.A. #48 - (Talking about Buffy as Shakespeare would have. [g]) Posted by: forensicpoetry - May 19, 2002, 9:08 PM
HAIKU PROLOGUE
Season Two's ending
rhetorical verse in Shakespearean sonnet form }
{BVS_143_01.02}
I'm thinking of Angelus as faux priest
{BVS_143_01.03}
who says to Dru's confession: Do not whine.
{BVS_143_01.04}
God's set a place for evil at his feast.
{BVS_143_01.06}
IT'S TRUE that dark and light are in God's plan.
{BVS_143_01.07}
BUT that's not clear at all to femmes and men.
{BVS_143_01.08}
(No clearer if they are a Buffy fan.)
{BVS_143_01.10}
a villain who's not under his control?
{BVS_143_01.11}
MORE THOUGHTS along this line will have to wait,
{BVS_143_01.12}
because GOD SAYS: Shut up, or lose your soul. . . .
{BVS_143_01.14}
This is my world. You're guests. But I'm the host.
{BVS_144_02.01}
OK, DEAR GOD, I'll drop theology,
{BVS_144_02.02}
before I burn my bridge to your good grace.
{BVS_144_02.03}
I'll teach "Becoming". Skip the blasphemy.
{BVS_144_02.04}
The Season Two finale. . . We'll retrace . . .
{BVS_144_02.06}
From 18th cent'ry playboy who is turned
{BVS_144_02.07}
by vampire Darla to an undead slime
{BVS_144_02.08}
who near the end of 19th cent'ry's earned . . .
{BVS_144_02.10}
restored to suffer guilt. No end of pain.
{BVS_144_02.11}
Eternal life within a mem'ry hole
{BVS_144_02.12}
of victim's faces with no chance of rain . . .
{BVS_144_02.14}
THAT BRINGS US up to our postmodern times.
{BVS_145_03.01}
IN 1996, SAYS WHISTLER: "CHOOSE:"
{BVS_145_03.02}
Will Angel eat more rats? (His present course).
{BVS_145_03.03}
OR let a young girl slayer be his muse
{BVS_145_03.04}
for songs of his becoming a new force . . .
{BVS_145_03.06}
The demon shows him her, and he is changed
{BVS_145_03.07}
by something in her heart he's understood.
{BVS_145_03.08}
Priorities he had . . . now rearranged.
{BVS_145_03.10}
that fate has thrust upon her. Add his strength
{BVS_145_03.11}
to hers. (Of course constrained to when it's night)
{BVS_145_03.12}
He'll stand by her throughout the total length . . .
{BVS_145_03.14}
exchanged with her. Yet still pure love occured.
{BVS_146_04.01}
BUT THEN, of course, we know his vow's undone
{BVS_146_04.02}
by "making love" to Buffy. "Happiness."
{BVS_146_04.03}
It was, of course, no fault of either one.
{BVS_146_04.04}
The path of ev'ry option we can't guess.
{BVS_146_04.06}
of life on earth. We'd simply skip this stop
{BVS_146_04.07}
along eternity. But this juke joint
{BVS_146_04.08}
of chaos is . . . . Let's call it GOD'S SOCK HOP.
{BVS_146_04.10}
without constraints of rhyme. Does it make sense?
{BVS_146_04.11}
A slayer danced with vampire then got pricked
{BVS_146_04.12}
by life-and-world-transforming consequence.
{BVS_146_04.14}
TO SAVE THE WORLD she'd have to let him go.
