NOTE: If you watched "Seeing
Red" (BtVS episode #119 - Season 6 ep
19)
last night, this sonnet sequence may not
make heck of a lot more sense <g> . . . but
if you
remember something
Spike said about
tea . . . <smile>
BIGGER
(but smaller) NOTE: The insane idea of
putting Buffy thoughts
in
Shakespearean sonnet form . . . is based on
the even more insane idea that
you
might want to give it a try yourself.
For a "sonnetized" explanation of
why this is not insane <g> . .
. you might read
my previous Bronze threads WHY
I POST IN SHAKESPEAREAN SONNETS:
PART 1:
tid=48156 PART 2:
tid=48152
THEN if that challenge
seems like an interesting one to you, look for
TEA TIME in L.A.
at 7:00 PM
BRONZE TIME daily . . . which is truly
strange. <g> But it just
might save
the world. <ewg> In any case, you can brag
about being able to write better
than
fill-in-the-blank.

It turns out that when
I heard Spike say he would "make his
tea"
with the Slayer's bones . .
.
. . . WHAT HE REALLY SAID WAS <smile>
"pick his teeth . . .
BUT, you know, I
still really like the IDEA of Slayer Bone Tea.
<ewg>
And if I hadn't heard Spike "wrong" . .
. I wouldn't have written the sonnets
BELOW.

TEA TIME SONNETS
#109-112/154
Rhetorical verse in
Shakespearean sonnet
form
SPIKE'S SPECIAL
BLEND - Inspired by: "Seeing Red"
Episode #119 of
BtVS
(1) I'M
HAVING TEA WITH SPIKE. We used his
leaves
to brew our cups. It's not my cup of
tea.
Strange flavor, this. Perhaps dear
Spike deceives
about these "leaves"
. . . my gullibility . . .
. . . is
easily persuaded by his smile.
OH NO, dear
friends, no don't think that I'm gay.
<ewg>
IT'S JUST this thing he has. I
like his style.
Slutskaya's got her
spin. And Spike his
play.
Panache . . . if that
more suits your taste in words.
Like Cyrano,
Spike moves with passion's
heat.
He speaks poetic'lly . . . TO
DAWN: "The birds
are flying (once)
again" . . . to frame the sweet . .
.
. . . revival of the Wil & Tara
bond.
WE SIP OUR TEA . . . I ASK: "WHAT
LIES BEYOND?"

(2) SPIKE
SMILES THAT SMILE, and says he can't reveal
the
storyline . . . or Joss would ring his
neck.
He mumbles 'bout a "non-disclosure
deal."
THEN SMILES AGAIN: "I know this
discotheque."
WE DRAIN OUR CUPS . . .
Spike swipes the residue
from fingertip to
lips . . . and licks the dregs.
HE INDICATES
perhaps I lick mine, too.
I SMILE as I decline .
. . then stretch my legs . . .
. . . before I
hop behind him for the ride.
SPIKE'S
MOTORCYCLE ROARS, and I hold tight.
NO, not
because I'm gay<ewg> . .
. I am astride
a two-wheeled missle . . . heading
into night.
Up P.C.H.Pacific
Coast Highway a moment . . . then the
turns
of Sunset.the
street Screaming engine. Muffler
burns . . .

(REMEMBER THIS: Don't let your ankle
touch
those pretty, bright chrome tubes along
each flank
of motorcycles. You won't like it
much.)
WE HIT THE SUNSET STRIP . . . and then
my bank.
Not robbery, dear friends, my
A.T.M.
If you know Spike, you know the
cost is yours
for his attention. Clear? You
pay. Not him.
And if you buy his beer, it won't
be Coors . . .
. . . but some imported brand
that costs a mint.
BUT YOU'RE WITH
SPIKE . . . why would you ever b*tch
about
the costs? YOU'LL SEE YOUR NAME in print
in
tandem with a bold-face. What's the
hitch?
No hitch, dear friends, as long as you
recall
if you want fame, you're at its beck and
call.

4 of 4 (sonnet
sequence) SPIKE'S SPECIAL BLEND
cont.
(4) A LONG LINE'S WAITING at an
80's club . . .
BUT YOU'RE WITH SPIKE . .
. you will not wait this time.
No one complains.
This is no corner pub
where ev'ryone's the same.
'Twould be a crime . . .
. . . if
Spike was kept outside . . . and so, YOU'RE
IN.
There's other famous faces in the
mix,
and L.A. coolness rules say it's a
sin
to stare at some celebrity for
kicks.
AND SO WE SAIL through bodies
unperturbed.
I BUY TWO BEERS (my own of lesser
kind).
WE FIND A BOOTH . . . where we won't be
disturbed . . .
. . . WHILE WE DISCUSS
the role of Spike so far.
A bit part
Marsters burned into a
star.
TO BE CONTINUED
. . .

HAIKU
CODA
No coda today.
We're not done with
this sequence.
Why write this at
all?
