Repost: Doppler Effect

[h***@gmail.com]

There's this thing that's on my mind,
a word that rings. I think you'll find
my mind consumed. Presume to know
what all, and why, I'd like to show
you now just how that ringing word
appears. It's clear to all who've heard
the word before. It sure does ring in
terms of Angel's voice when singing
praise. I raise my lance, defensive
not of what I've got, consent. Give
ear, and hear the word unfurling.
Voices join; send winds a whirl. Bring
this brief missive closure knowing
sound rebounds when ships are slowing.

Is the 'ringing word' the poem alludes to clear enough?

This is one of the better poems I've read by Corey, who shows a heavy Shel Silverstein influence, I think.

You told me that Dennis M Hammes also compared your poetry to Shel Silverstein's poems... isn't that true?

Corey's more of a sophomoric Seuss.

[h***@gmail.com]

I was not influenced by Shel Silverstein at all, but several people,
including yourself and Hammes, have likened my poetry to his. I
was, however, influenced by Dr. Seuss to some extent, but people
who read it on a sophomoric level, like Michael, are for the most
part incapable of deciphering meaning beyond the superficial, or
applying that meaning to their real lives in any pragmatic way.

I can decipher meaning in the parts that aren't just gobbledygook, find them to be pretentious, overladen with metaphor (generally of the mixed var.), unfunny and in poor taste.

OTOH, I often appreciate your ability to create multiple internal rhymes, unusual rhymes, etc., although this is often done at the expense of coherency.

[h***@gmail.com]

Much appreciated, Michael. If you could provide an example of the indecipherable
gobbledygook you have difficulty with, that would be very, very helpful. Thank you!

[h***@gmail.com]

You do understand that I'm generally trying to be pretentious,
overladen with mixed metaphors, unfunny and in poor taste
though, don't you? It's not an accident you see it that way.
I just wish you appreciated what you're looking at more.

No. I can't imagine why you should wish your poetry to come across as such.

[h***@gmail.com]

Okay, great. So, for example, my poem Christian Existentialist
is written in the form of, or to the tune of, Modern Major General
by Gilbert and Sullivan, and is intended to be read in the same
pompous, pretentious type of voice as that of the Major General.

Okay. In that case I'll just take a guess:

The poem jokes about how you're "Hi," you talk about your penis, blow a fart and toss in an obscure, metaphorical allusion to a Biblical story.

Of course your poem's meter is clearly delineated that your readers should immediately recognize that it's set to the tune of a Gilbert and Sullivan song, and imagine that a similar character is speaking in your verse.

Yes... it's starting to come back to me, now...

What's your take on the current line that Dr. Seuss was a racist?

https://people.com/books/dr-seuss-books-racist-problematic/

[h***@gmail.com]

What's my take? I have no take.
His books were a part of my youth.
I've seen his stuff that some people
call racist, and understand where
they're coming from, but that's not
my history or experience reading him.

"Theodor Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, was a member of the OSS during WWII producing anti-Nazi and anti-Japanese propaganda. He left the service at the onset of the cold war, saying the initiatives taken by the government at the time against fellow-Americans was excessive. He went on to write children's books including an anti-racist classic, The Sneetches, in 1961. Though he supported the internment of Japanese Issei and Nissei during WWII, he overcame his animosities and wrote Horton Hears a Who! in 1954 to critically characterize our post-war occupation of Japan..." -Just Walkin'

Okay. I'm sorry, I really don't see your point,

To accuse Seuss of racism for anti-Axis propaganda is just plain idiotic.

I don't know where the post-war occupation of Japan analogy is coming from, but it certainly doesn't relate to "Horton Hears a Who." In Seuss' story, Horton the elephant's large ears allow him to hear voices from a microscopic civilization on a dust speck -- which he protects from outside harm. It's message that "A person's a person no matter how small" is, obviously, a plea for racial equality/harmony, but in a much broader, general sense.

I agree with that, myself, but like you, I'm not part of the politically correct mainstream, Pendragon.

If Pastor Corey, who will probably admit to being a liberal Democrat, says give the Doctor a pass, as well, then we have something to discuss.

[Blackbeard]

Okay, so I don't identify personally as a liberal Democrat,
but I certainly know people who are, and they're perfectly
nice people in so much as their being liberal Democrats
doesn't bother me while I'm busy doing whatever it is I'm
doing at any given time that has nothing to do with them.

Everyone stereotypes All The Time!!
People of Every Race stereotype!!
Mere human nature.
And often a Personal Protection device.
Stereotypes are merely perceived Realities riding on the crest of time.
A voracious mountain lion has a certain and well-deserved reputation for being a dangerous creature
As does a black widow spider.
As do the unique characteristics of certain kinds/races of people.
The Wise person heeds the stereotypes for his or her own safety and the safety of loved ones.
The Fool disregards the stereotypes and Imperils himself and his loved ones.
Stereotypes serve a Good and Legitimate purpose!!
They give us a sense of direction about how best to react to certain people under certain circumstances.
A Good Thing, I think!!

This is the poem I compared to a Shel Silverstein style.

[h***@gmail.com]

Unfortunately, that doesn't mean anything to me. I'm familiar
with his work, but have no idea what you mean by his style.

[h***@gmail.com]

Shel Silverstein was Jewish. This
is a Christian Doppler Effect poem.

[h***@gmail.com]

It is certainly not anti-Semitic to note
that Shel Silverstein was Jewish, and
that this is a Christian Doppler Effect
poem, because that was his name.

[h***@gmail.com]

Labels are difficult when talking to or about people.
He's a this, but sometimes he's that. She's all that,
but sometimes she's not. You're a whatever, and I'm
sure I'm me. So we try to communicate with each other
using the same words, but from completely different
perspectives and experiences, never knowing exactly
what each other means by what we say, but trusting
that there's enough similarity between us and our life
experience to know that there is a purpose to it that is
not very different from our own, and understand better.

[Will Dockery™]

Well, if the poem is a good read, that's one point in your favor.
