Episode 59: How Still is about the Brady Bunch, paper dolls, asses, and Mrs. Santa Claus. Actually, it’s about a perfectly lovely Matsuo Basho haiku sent to us on a postcard from Japan in the year 2013. And it’s also about the Brady Bunch, paper dolls, asses . . .
Episode 58: Antique Doll
Episode 57: Sibling Situations
Episode 56: Mushroom Message
Episode 55: Poems in Movies
Episode 55: Poems in Movies is not a regular Wacky Poem Life episode, as Shaun flies solo and talks about a trio of movies in which poems play some sort of role. It’s a bit rough, a bit philosophical, a bit personal and doesn’t really go anywhere . . . but maybe you’ll like it anyway!
Episode 54: Crawl Outside
Episode 54: Crawl Outside encourages you to do so, especially if it’s out a window, especially if it might be uncomfortable and you might land in the Rose of Sharon bushes and then have to go get a massage. Opportunity waits out there, so says our poet of the week, so says Oklahoma’s favorite son Will Rogers, whose birthday is the day this podcast was recorded, November 4. Crawl outside, crawl into this episode, which begins with a recording from Rogers himself.
Episode 53: Halloween Teeth
Episode 53: Halloween Teeth covers a delightfully ghoulish Dark & Scary poem contest winner that has us theorizing about odontophobia and philia and macabre thoughts of the season, along with a particularly distasteful Poetry Court poem.
Episode 52: What is Poetry?
Episode 51: Two Heads
Episode 50: Darkness Descends
Have you ever worn sackcloth? Or just wanted to torture yourself for whatever reason? Me neither. But some people do and then sometimes the material is rent asunder by the light of hope. Or something like that . . .
