This Monday Haiku Wrap Up Is Full Of Feist

I hid all last week & no one found me. That makes you "It." Ha!

Here are the winners of the hiding haiku contest - I hope their prizes find them. If you want to write a haiku to be read on the air, just be aware that the theme this week is South By Southwest. Write away! We list the winners from fourth place to first:
FOURTH PLACE: Rick

I was underground
But not hidden, just searching
Looking for my roots

THIRD PLACE: Tanya

Is it called hiding
When I spend time all alone
With guilty pleasures?

SECOND PLACE: Stewart

The sky masked with clouds
Concealing terrible night
Hiding the new moon

FIRST PLACE: Patricia

Watch love stowaway
In the great cruise of your life
Then fall overboard

Did we have a limerick? We did!

In the old Scottish River called Clyde
There beasties are said to be spied
No matter your wishes
‘Tis certain they’re vicious
Your hide it is best that ye hide.

Thanks all! You don't need to hide any more!

Two things:

1) Last Friday's show about hiding has been digitized & can be listened to if you missed. Just go to this page & consume it all up.

2) Today's "Song Of The Day" is from the Smithsonian set American Musical Theater: Shows, Songs & Stars, Vol. 2 & is a song from Lady In The Dark, from the original run & sung by the wonderful Gertrude Lawrence. It's the darkly comic song
Jenny, & clicking on it will show you that you need to learn the song's lesson about making up your mind. I'll leave it here for two weeks, until March 19, 2007.

Tomorrow: there's a music festival coming to Austin. Why do I care?
