Rhetorical verse for Tea Time in L.A. #24 - (Talking about Buffy as Shakespeare would have. [g]) Posted by: forensicpoetry - Apr 17, 2002, 10:36 AM
BELOW IS TODAY'S SONNETIZED RESPONSE TO BtVS EPISODE #13 or 2.1
rhetorical verse in Shakespearean sonnet form
(a 4-sonnet sequence) }
{BVS_058_01.02}
RETURNS to face the vampires of her town
{BVS_058_01.03}
with new bad attitude: Hey, I don't care
{BVS_058_01.04}
what anybody thinks. No "loser" clown.
{BVS_058_01.06}
replaced her Buffy Baby Talk with Lip.
{BVS_058_01.07}
My friends, for all I care, can hit the road.
{BVS_058_01.08}
I'm solo captain of this slaying ship . . .
{BVS_058_01.10}
of executing my damned sacred role
{BVS_058_01.11}
which seems for me so inescapable.
{BVS_058_01.12}
(Hey, I must have a whole six-pack of soul.)
{BVS_058_01.14}
Move over Cordy, there's a brand new Queen.
{BVS_059_02.01}
I'LL PUT THE TAPE ON HOLD to say one thing:
{BVS_059_02.02}
I think Ms. Gellar plays "THE BAD GIRL" best.
{BVS_059_02.03}
It's more than just that teasing, naughty zing
{BVS_059_02.04}
she lathers on the men who've failed some test . . .
{BVS_059_02.06}
of all the helpless cattle in the way
{BVS_059_02.07}
of slayer duty that's on her conferred
{BVS_059_02.08}
with no escape, (When killed, she'll ricochet.)
{BVS_059_02.10}
I LIKE THIS BETTER than B-Baby Talk.
{BVS_059_02.11}
WITH BUFFY TOUGH, her friends might buy some gas
{BVS_059_02.12}
and rev that journey on which they just walk.
{BVS_059_02.14}
Drop fuzzy sweaters. Don Red Kevlar tights. {g}
{BVS_060_03.01}
A TOUGH NEW WILLOW with her own trance band.
{BVS_060_03.02}
No tech-wimp shadow to Buff's power point.
{BVS_060_03.03}
When "good old Xander's" whipped all he could stand,
{BVS_060_03.04}
he'd stop the stupid jokes and roll a joint.
{BVS_060_03.06}
would "burn ol' Angel down" -- but dust his bones
{BVS_060_03.07}
if he showed up "all diff'rent," acting mean,
{BVS_060_03.08}
and claiming not to have no telephones.
{BVS_060_03.10}
with Big Bad Buffy's heart -- he'd make the call
{BVS_060_03.11}
to reaffirm his love, and to confess
{BVS_060_03.12}
that his ol' evil nature's had a ball . . .
{BVS_060_03.14}
before he'd break her heart, he'd eat hard coal.
{BVS_061_04.01}
OF COURSE, JOSS WIMPED sweet Buffy back to form.
{BVS_061_04.02}
He "spanked her inner moppet" with remorse.
{BVS_061_04.03}
With just a short side-show of anger's storm,
{BVS_061_04.04}
her ultra-violence would run its course . . .
{BVS_061_04.06}
she'd pulverize her issues . . . THEN SHE'D CRY
{BVS_061_04.07}
until she's back to normal, where her woes
{BVS_061_04.08}
are only 'bout her friends. SO LONG. GOODBYE . . .
{BVS_061_04.10}
Forgiveness by her "loser friends." How nice. {SARCASM WARNING}
{BVS_061_04.11}
I HOPE YOU SEE the look that I've got on.
{BVS_061_04.12}
I WISH she'd stay Bad Buffy. Call her "Spice."
{BVS_061_04.14}
AND "Sam & Riley." Back to back, they'd go. {ewg}
