That was an...interesting show. I liked the cardboard art. There's a lot going on there and lots of room for interpretation.
What is a low-ku? I hadn't heard that term before. I liked "hillbilly" and felt that it did a great job of capturing Southern manner of speech.
A "Low-ku" is a low-brow haiku. It follows the form of haiku (5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables), but the content is nonsense or intentionally non-poetic.
And my dad really was a hillbilly from Virginia, so I grew up listening to how his side of the family spoke. They were hilarious people. (Sadly, only a couple folks who moved from Virginia to the Pacific Northwest are still with us, but I try to keep them alive in my head and my stories!)
Thanks for the comment!
Cool. I can get down with some low-ku.
My family is southern from a West VA heritage, so I know all about the way they talk as well. They are truly hilarious with the things they say and how they say it. Thanks for the follow.
