The voices speak, but
there's no rhyme.
Have void voices lost their
chimes?
Or is the task to hard to speak?
Sonnets
are not for the meek.
Perhaps the voices need a
guide
An angel like at Christmastide
Oh voices!
Hey! Now listen here
This prophecy that you hold
dear
It won't do much if no one hears.
So
strive for clarity in words
Trust me now, it's not
absurd.
Like channels hidden, secret, few
Dark
words don't tell us what to do.
So join the club
and speak your case
Now is the time and now's the
place.
We're Sonnet Slayers, happy few,
whose
Destony we'll keep, not lose.
Be bold
and cross the line once drawn
To mystery don't be a
pawn!

Xander , can you say
co-dependent?
If Buffy was a good friend true she
would
have laid it on the line. Told X up
straight
it's up to him to mend his ways. He could
bow down and then perhaps he'd get his
mate.
B should have kick'd his a** up to the moon
and back,told him to cut that act of jerk.
'Cause
I have Anya's back this time buffoon
so you had best
wipe off that silly smirk.
And then the rest of
them should follow suit.
If they love him and care as
much as they
pretend they can't neglect he's been a
brute.
Then X can move on to a brand new
day.
Oh, Xander likes to play good guy but
he
needs so much more than tea and

No divine Spike.
Just Angel as plot trick.
As Willow gets a taste of
power (sweet!)And cool guy is portrayed as usual
prick...
When "perverts" did not make the Buff
retreat. <g>
This plot has not much magic,
one concedes.
Enhanced and fishy steam, Cold War,
cute puns.
While B’s left to fulfill the green boys’
needs,
I too ask... why don’t Big Bads just use guns?
<g>
While not as low as “Ted” and others,
still...
The tale was not as scary and intense
As
one wished. I tend to like darker frill,
<g>
Where Bad is bad and writers build
suspense.
If one good thing comes out of it: that
beasts
Like this can be true victims, not cruel
freaks.
4)
Not much to do with film by the
same name. <g>
A filler cute to watch in
retrospect.
How Willow, Cordi grew much and
became
The heroes that we’ve learned to (fear?)
respect.
No dark depressing shadow or sad
grief,
(But the initial brief lone slayer
scene).
Plots, simple--to the point-- bring some
relief.
Remember when the Buff was just
eighteen?
How did I write so much on such a
tale?
Did some of the plain themes somehow hit
home?
That vain ambition puts convenient veil
On
things that matter... could turn one to
clone.
How far would you go to pursue your
dream?
To change in AND out for fake prize
supreme?

"Allez Poisson” or
BAD FISH, MAD FISH, SAD FISH
1)
Just
saw a "Buffy" that was wet and bland.
So why in Hell
did I, the “wit,” <g> pick it?
More sins, to,
here, confess I had not planned.
The easy-way-out
vice I did commit.
On my first try at IP, please
be kind.
"Go Fish" has not the primal, genius
plot
That should have so intrigued a clever
mind.
But no such talent, here. I’m not that “hot.”
<smile>
To practice is my goal. To learn,
my "curse."
(Or is it "gift"? <g> I'm sorry; I
digressed...)
And I, quite nervous, practiced “l’art”
of verse...
On such a simple subject? I
regressed.
Don’t mind the merits. Form was main
concern.
Don’t lecture! Both are linked: I can
discern.
2)
It starts. A vict’ry party on the
beach.
A fire. First, X., his old smart self,
complains.
He mocks “cool gene” and makes his little
speech.
Why be there then. “School spirit” or no
brains? <g>
Lone slayer stares at Big, Wet
Mother Sea.
Lame swimmers get all honors. She gets
none.
She saves ungrateful "Third"and we sure
see
Her hope of getting a reward's long
gone.
As in the old B. style, remains are
found.
When something smells of fish, Scoobs hit the
books.
Sure, X. in Speedo makes for laughing
ground.
Where’s his “part fish,” one with these
famous hooks?
A Team of Creatures from the Black
Lagoon?
Looks more like something from an odd
cartoon.
