TODAY'S
META QUESTION: IS IT A DUMB IDEA . . .
for the topic
of each daily TEA TIME thread to be
an episode of Buffy the Vampire
Slayer?
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. . . . OR IS IT?
<g>
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

10-11 AM in Sydney

Time)
I'll be here until

How much can you
enjoy the past episodes?
I have them all on tape.
Seen ev'ry one.
But seem to only want to view the
new.
And I mean . . . what comes
next.
Whenever they cough up another show.

I've read your
sonnet's quest for Katy grace,
'Twould have been most
interesting to see
Miss Holmes in our tiny Sarah's
big place
'Twas not to pass, making Sarah:
Buffy
Like a slayer, an actress has a path
I
doubt that Sarah longs for normal life
Called the
chosen one, no need for high math
All her fortune is
paid with d'frent strife
I'll agree the first
season's kinda rough
But now at six the diamond is
smoother
For that thank Joss, Fury, Martis and
Buff!
Forget not other scribes, the rhyme was
tough
A poet lamented the road not
taken
ANother road, would have been
mistaken!

I
said this in the haiku down below

but it's
encoded way too much, some say.
So I'll
translate to blank verse to
expand
the great big problem we have
looking back
to early B. t. V. S.
episodes.
WE KNOW TOO MUCH. And more knowing
eyes.
How can we put our minds back were we
were
to talk about things when the show was
young.

-- all four of them --
you'd think that Katie Holmes
somehow
became the topic of the day.
And in a
sense, that is completely right.
But there's
a larger question I address.

"I said in sonnets
what I wanted to say."
CORRECTION
I
said in sonnets what I want to
say.
Sloppy slayer tongue.

we haven't raised
the topic of the day.
I said in sonnets
what I wanted to

not much to say.

This daily
thread has not long been around.
And it's
evolving ev'ry day it posts.
And there's a
reason why few folks are here.
And maybe
reasons that you don't expect.

A
useful mistake.
An easy choice of
topic.
Each day, one
Buffy.
But to lay fresh eyes
on
each Buffy tale
again
is
impossible.
We therefore return
to
the arbitrary choice
of each
day's "chaos" . . .
. . . or "complexity"
--
depending on your
spirit.
Or the mood you're
in.
Bottom bottom line:
It's not time to
have a plan.
We'll steer day by
day.
