Suddenly,
the TEA TIME interdimensional portal materializes at its usual
space-time coordinates (7-8

As you enter, you hear the voice of
an unseen presence . . . speaking in haiku

"I'M DESTINY-FREE,"
said Buffy when she was
told
that she was
chosen.
Is
that how you feel?
Could you be
as mistaken
as Buffy
Summers?
Or are
you brought here
to this
space-time
location
by your
destiny?
THE TEA TIME
PORTAL
has opened
consistently
in this
space and time.
It's a
mystery.
Why has
this portal
appeared?
A
portal to what?
What
coded message
does the
gatekeeper require?
Can
you find the
key?
What
form does it
take?
Something
you already
know?
Something
you must learn?
What kind
of action . . .
. . .
What magic words must be
said
to
pass beyond here.
TEA TIME is a
node,
transient
connecting
point,
in the
mystery.
The lessons
are done.
The
Watcher changes his
hat.
An
Oracle now.
The TEA TIME
PORTAL
dematerializes
at 8:00 PM
(Bronze).
From now until
then,
the poetic
Oracle
will
observe. . . .

Of course I
wonder
What motives this poet has?
Perhaps he will
say
I fear it will fade
Before the Big Cheese
reveals
For now anyway...

All I can say is
As
far as strange poems go
I'm always
confused
Blame my measley age
But
Shakespeare's not my forte
I write rhyming
songs
Though Big Cheese intrigues,
This
Bohemian Dime Bar
Is out of her
depth...

Sloppy Oracle.
Lost

A crazy
haiku.
Poetry Month? TRUE.
And who says
we're not
writing in Will Shakespeare's
form?

Destiny can

One circumstance to the next?
Fate is set

Destiny is
strange
It depends if you believe
We're meant to
be here
Versing to amuse
The phantom poetic
man
I call the Big Cheese
You may think I'm
stoned
The uneventful truth is
Just a bad
poet.
Peace and Love. Yelnif.

If your destiny
is
already known to all
then you have no
fate.

Hi FP. Thought I would send this off to
you just before supper.

Reluctance is easy to
understand
If you consider the slayers fate.
Her
life could never be boring and bland
but constant
death threats would begin to grate.
If fate is
the key to happiness true
then we should all wish to
be in the loop.
It's simple to see why she's so
blue.
She's caught, she's bound, no, she can't fly
the coop.
As is with any other vocation
Each
one has its ups and downs, of course.
But she's the
ONE, no solicitation.
Buffy has the right to counter
the source.
For her there's no gold medal to be
won,
So its about time to bring on some
fun.
