I luved "Gloom interrupted" --what a grand phrase.<br /><br />Fishy!<br /> So happy that ya liked the SIGNS theme--pretty open, an note how many different insights we had. (judgin' is way too nerve wrackin' fer poor Aunty B).<br /><br />Pam OKC,<br />well, I ain't got mah feathers ruffled too much by it--see above the response to Anon. Besides which, it's jes a bag of Pork Rinds. Enjoy!<br /><br />FOAMY!<br /><br />Take a bow--an' I ain't real shure what the procedure be--I'll ask Troll. I does know ya send to Chickory/ K9 for the Haiku Icon to post on yore side bar if ya like--an mebbe ya will wanna host/ judge--or give that back to Troll--but I does think ya git to choose the theme. Hooray fer Foam!! (an...c'mon, ya coulda written in Cracker too--I'se Mississippi born too, ya know.)<br /><br />Eggy!<br /><br />Thanky Sugar Pie--but next week, PLEASE come play wif us.<br /><br />BuzzK! <br /><br />Whoo-hoo to ya! Uncle --of course--had a hand in yores, did ya figger that? He said he could bribed even if Fishy's Batiste gowns flappin' in the wind wouldn't buy me, he could be bought. I say, deer tracks is a sign that says what ya said. Kool.<br /><br />An' on cribbin' edgin' ya out again--well, I plain doan know many songs, an youse mah victim. Sorry. But--the prize is the same!!<br /><br />Folks, whar' can I sign on fer a quick course on popular music 1960--2000?

Let's give PamOKC <br />credit fer choosin the lyric that really do fit what a Cracker mighta thought about "signs." <br /><br />Moi!<br /><br />Oh Sweet Pea, do I admire yore past judgin' gigs. Whoo-whee, this were tougher than I 'spected. I also liked the cigarette smoke--hence the photo of the "judges" at the top of the post--heh. <br /><br />An' on Buzz? Well, Karl's wuz a pretty fair entry along similar lines, Cracker and nature, But Buzz's graphic visual put him over!<br /><br />AN thanky so much fer the overview compliment--the fine ones youse written is an intimidation factor!<br /><br /> Master Basho,<br />why how gallant of ya'! May I say, Sir, that while he ain't an esteemed Nipponese, Mr. Pinsky has enlightened me on how to "hear" and "listen." Fascinatin' stuff.<br /><br />Anon-Chick9,<br /><br /> oooh oooh, Pup. Be careful what ya wish fer--Semiotics may show up soon on a screen afore ya knows it. Think youse prolly read some of Walker Percy's books. He were a physician, a writer an' of course, a Southerner. His book of essays, MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE takes a look at semiotics--ana hold on to yore seat, Pup: He says that the post-modern malaise of Existential Man is due to the fact that he cain't read the signs no more. <br /><br />It's disconnection from signs as the natural ciphers for the deeper truths, that give rise to a cultural meme of alienation. An' the advent of TV --especially folks watchin' 3-5 hours of TV per day, makes them passive in thought, and expectant in real life. <br /><br />IF all problems of yore favorite TV characters are resolved in an hour, an ya see 35-40 resolutions per week, how can ya NOT think, "life is supposed to be this way"? Supposed to resolve itself. An' when real life doan turn out thataway? Anger/ alienation/ sense of entitlements not given....they develop a kind of distaste for reality, and demand the a "new reality" be created for them. <br /><br />But the heart of the matter is that their consciousness is lackin' the awareness of the "signs" that are ever'whar'--the signs that show objective reality to them, but they won't/cain't see 'em. <br /><br />Not so incidentally, those who "see" find that specific signs have apparently been deliberately hidden in plain view in many popular art forms --precisely for those who will "see" to see. Though I do not agree 100 %, I think it stretches use of semiotics a bit thin, a popular illustration of this is the Comic book, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. <br /><br />Oh mercy--I'se off on a far thin branch now. Better inch back toward the trunk. : )Aunty Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13868780211706866610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23068833.post-13746081452769168912011-03-08T18:33:18.696-08:002011-03-08T18:33:18.696-08:00Wait, Florida Cracker and South Jersey Piney are t...Wait, Florida Cracker and South Jersey Piney are the same?

The remarks about sound/verbal/hearing were especially eruditish.<br /><br />I actually banked more Yen from reading my Haiku aloud than from published writings. And, of course, I had my acolytes read theirs aloud in order to help them develop.

I actually liked her ode to cigarette smoke best, but concur that this one is the winner due to it's splendid handling of the nature theme.<br /><br />As to Anon's point above, Pam made it clear when she submitted that it was nicked. <br /><br />I also had Buzz for the Cracker Speak win. I tried many times and, like Chickory, just couldn't make it work. Double kudos to you, Aunty, for the way that you do.<br /><br />And for yet another wonderful overview of the theme. I would consider it a most awesome thing to one day sit down with you in conversation . . .
