TEA
TIME in L.A. 3/30 (7-8 PM Bronze Time) Starting tomorrow, the
topic is a Buffy episode per day?

Welcome to TEA TIME in L.A. (7-8 PM
Bronze Time) . . .
Posted by: forensicpopouri - Mar 30, 2002, 6:59
PM
. . . where we polish our
pointy tongues by talking in
verse.
Baffled? Curious?
Furious?<g> . . .See the TEA TIME &
SONNET
FAQ:
http://www.buffy.com/bronze_posts.jsp?tid=51856
Here's
the link to today's sonnet, #16 . . . the last
arbitrary topic.
<smile>
http://www.buffy.com/bronze_posts.jsp?tid=52286
A
GOOD IDEA? Starting tomorrow, Sunday
3/31
the topic of each
daily TEA TIME thread will be
an episode of
Buffy the Vampire Slayer . . .
from
the beginning . . .
SUN 3/31 #1 "Welcome
To the Hellmouth"
MON 4/1 #2
"The Harvest"
TUE 4/2 #3 "The
Witch"
WED 4/3 #4
"Teacher's Pet"
THU 4/4 #5 "Never
Kill A Boy On The First
Date"
FRI 4/5 #6 "The
Pack"
SAT 4/6 #7
"Angel"
OUR CHALLENGE (while
sharpening our slayer tongues) is
to use the
discipline of rhetorical verse to squeeze
all "the juice"
there is to be squeezed from
the artistic and cultural power source
that is
Buffy the Vampire
Slayer.
NOTE: Now
that everyone will know the topic in advance,
<smile>
you'll have time to "distill"
your most profound thoughts about each
Buffy
episode you wish to explore . . . into a sonnet to
share
during Tea Time (if you
wish).
TEA TIME hour is . . .
4-5 PM in Los
Angeles
7-8 PM in New York City
and in the Bronze
12-1 AM in
London (11PM-Midnight from
3/31-4/7)
10-11 AM in
Sydney (9-10AM after 3/31 due to U.S.
Daylight Savings
Time)
I'll be here until
8:PM Bronze time . .
.
you
speak

Feel free to prepare
some verse
to share at TEA TIME.
(2) More
insightful lines
will come when you're not
hurried.
Tea time's "exercise."
(3)
Getting iambic
to flow from your slayer tongue
I
claim, is useful.
(4) And there is value
that
I will not discuss now
that comes from
"constraint.

. . . is "Welcome To
The Hellmouth."
The first episode.
(2) I'll
watch it again
and see what still touches
me.
Where is it's beauty?
(3) Then write a
sonnet
condensing its highest art
(in my eyes, of
course).

And Buffy's
training to perfect her force.
Her slayer
muscles went through many miles
of exercises.
Kicks and stabs, of course.
