TEA
TIME In L.A. (4-5 PM Pacific) 3/25 Monday's Topic: If you
could speak one HAIKU to Joss ...
 |
 Welcome to Tea Time . . . Haiku
today, sonnetizing tomorrow<g> ... What
would you say to Joss... Posted by: forensicpopouri - Mar 25, 2002, 7:07
PM
TODAYS
"BIG-THOUGHT":
IMAGINE that you
could speak to Joss Whedon face to face . .
.
. . . BUT you would
only be allowed 17 SYLLABLES.
You have just entered a daily alternative
universe where everyone is tanned, beautiful,
bikini-clad ... AND well-versed
in the Buffyverse. Yes, friends, once again . . .
For "inspiration" but not necessarily
conversation, my rhetorical verse for
today is a haiku sequence concerned with
last night's Oscars: OSCAR "RACE"
http://www.buffy.com/bronze_posts.jsp?tid=49359
BUT
the main focus of today's TEA TIME. . . has to
do with with compressed
communication.
I'm out here running
about in Hollywood ... and, frequently find
myself in a situation where I can "cross paths
briefly" with a power player in the
Hollywood game. Sometimes "stars" (like, Marsters
in my supermarket), but "players" ...
who make who have some effect on what we see on
TV.
BUT BEFORE I SPEAK to anyone who
everyone wants to talk to, I compose in
my head -- almost like a poem -- something
designed to be compelling enough to catch and
hold their attention.
SO <smile> ...
you're Tea Time pseudo-challenge .... is to
imagine if you crossed paths with Joss in the
midst of a thousand people who wanted to tell
him something. ..
BOTTOM LINE: What
would you say if Joss alloted you one HAIKU
worth of words before security whisked you
away<g>?
I'll be here till 5
Pacific (8 Bronze time, 1 A.M.
London)
you
speak

Far worse than this

| END of Monday's Tea
Time -- Closing remarks: (POOF)
For those who
have dropped by before <smile> and are totally
baffled/disinterested etc by what transpired here
today ... have no fear. <g>
Things at
Tea Time may get even stranger .... like Season six.
<smile>
Again I'd like to highlight
prunehilda and skull_uk for responding
with some verses of their own to some of my
earlier tea time rhetorical verse.
I
encourage all (yep, a never ending squeaky
wheel<g>) to read the four-sonnet sequence I
posted earlier. (see FOOTNOTES in the
responses.) There is method in my madness . . .
<smile>
And as some general or another once
said in completely different circumstances: I
shall return ... at Tea Time tomorrow. 7-8
Bronze Time.
P.S. If anyone would
like to play around with "what they'd say to Joss" in a
haiku, I'll check back here at around Midnight Bronze
time ... and read what
you've written.
POOF

 someone else recognizes him and makes a

you

more.
END OF FICTIONAL
ENCOUNTER

 Joss smiles and shakes his head in
agreement . . . does not yet call for security

Imagination
in
technology's required
as
well as
story.

 Joss, not afraid for his life <g>,
turns to listen to my next haiku with some
interest

The Bronze's
success
was beyond
expectation.
But then chaos
comes.

 bumping into Joss at the Sunnydale
bookstore , I say (in haiku). . .

| NOTE: I'm talking here
about rhetorical verse , NOT (private)
poetry.
But "the rules" for the English
version of a Haiku are that you're writing a
threeline
thing
5
syllables 7 syllables 5
syllables.
Easier than a sonnet,
yes? <smile>

| For those who want to
join in on this evolving "online experiment"
<smile>, look for a topic that begins TEA
TIME in L.A at the top of the Forum boards at
about 7:00 PM Bronze Time. I'll be around from 7-8
PM, daily .... until I've written as many sonnets
as Shakespeare (or Wordsworth?) <smile> ... or
until we take over the Buffyverse <grin> ... or
the world really and truly comes to an end. <ewg>
etc, etc.
