(Buffy
Verse for 3/28 Tea Time) Sonnet School For Slayers [REMINDER:
7-8PM Bronze Time]
|
This is not Tea Time . . . but Tea
Time will come <g>( 7-8 PM Bronze Time )
Here's today's verse:

TRAINING: aka Sonnet
School For Slayers? (2-sonnet
sequence)
[rhetorical verse in Shakespearean
sonnet form]
(1) WHEN BUFFY FIGHTS THE
VAMPIRES her quick
wits
supplies her
tongue with slashing words on
cue.
As Willow learned, it's
hard to say "what
fits
the moment"
when you're staking. How 'bout you? . .
.
. . . How quickly can you come up
with good lines
to
slay the demons that get in your way?
WELL,
HERE AT TEA TIME, we're not tasting
wines,
but rather
exercising how to say . .
.
. . .
more powerf'lly the thoughts in your own
mind.
So from now on Tea
"topics" won't be
mine.
Tea
Time's for slayer training "of a kind"
--
a
place where verbal muscles we
define.
Our
training regimen is formal
verse.
Because in battle . . . . no
time to rehearse.
(2) AT TEA
TIME I'M THE WATCHER. Shakespeare's
form
of sonnet is
the target that I set
for all
sharp slayer tongues. Your voice
transform
by virtue
of fast formal verse work.
Sweat.
YES, IT'S HARD WORK to
be a chosen
one.
Those who must
fight each day to save the
world
from
all the monsters who destroy the
fun
(while
never having their true flags unfurled).
"The fun" of living
must not be snuffed
out
by
"glorious"-schemed "agents" who dress
well
and
stroll the halls of Hollywood with
clout.
A slayer needs strong
words to walk through hell.
A
slayer's daily training's for the few.
The
question you must ask: Is it for
you.?
you
speak

Will Haikus be
accepted...
for today's tea
time?
2) Though sonnets I like
I
can't locate my ka-BOOMs.
Or grant me some
grace...
3) when I feebly try
to
compose sonnets worthy
of your keen wise
eyes.

Let me give you a
little bigger THANKS for that
"awesome."
Praise is very much appreciated.
<smile>
AND also thank you for
giving me an opportunity / reminder
to tell everyone
just what the heck a Shakespearean sonnet is. (see 2
messages down)
Yep. They're sonnets . . . but
formatted in such an unusual way
(for easy reading)
that they may not look like 'em.
<smile>
