ARE LINKS to today's Buffy Verse Sonnets,
#17-20: IN THE BEGINNING

PART
2:
http://www.buffy.com/bronze_posts.jsp?tid=53363
A
GOOD IDEA? Starting today, 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
11-12 AM in
London (Midnight-1:00 AM after
4/7)
10-11 AM in Sydney
(9-10AM after 4/7 due to U.S. Daylight Savings
Time)
I'll be here until
8:PM Bronze time . .
.

I didn't

the second episode is part
of the first story
told, I'll make it up.

TOMMOROW
comes "The Harvest" . . . That's ep 2.
I'll prob'ly
write four sonnets more for you.
Will
Shakespeare wrote one hundred fifty four.
Perhaps our

more.

shipper.
Filled with kinky sex due to the
absence of Rippa,
Fights and blinvisibility

WHAT IF one

If that sounds insane . . .
How many would to
post
if Joss read this thread?
(3) He's not,

And even I can only

Strewn through my

I'll wrap up my
last thought on size of thread.
No thousand, nor
a hundred. No just ten
Just ten at most
could interact here well.

Now, as for Plath . . .
I'm as guilty as you are
of straying from the
TOPIC OF THE DAY.
The topic is first Buffy
episode.
The links up top hold what I had to
say. <smile>
But I want to thank you for
Plath. OK.

That's still too

I

...I just suck at
it...I'm more of a quotation person...Sylvia Plath wrote
some wicked poetry...
Nevertheless, I am the
same, identical woman.
The first time it happened I
was ten.
It was an accident.
The second time
I meant
To last it out and not come back at all.
----------------------------------------
Dying
Is an art, like everything else.
I do it
exceptionally well.
I do it so it feels like
hell.
I do it so it feels real.
I guess you
could say I've a call.
It's easy enough to do it
in a cell.
It's easy enough to do it and stay put.
It's the theatrical
Comeback in broad day
To the same place, the same face, the same brute
Amused shout:
'A miracle!'
That knocks
me out.
There is a charge
For the eyeing my
scars, there is a charge
For the hearing of my
heart---
It really goes.
And there is a
charge, a very large charge
For a word or a touch
Or a bit of blood
Or a piece of my hair on
my
clothes.
-------------------------------------------
Out
of the ash
I rise with my red hair
And I eat men
like air.
from Lady Lazrus by Sylvia

Imagine if you
knew that Joss were here.
(That is NOT now the
case, but just suppose.)
Imagine that one
thousand folks had words
to say to him. How could
he ever read
that pile of words. 'Twould be
insane to try.

I have scared off

by requiring
verse.
