Well, we didn’t make it to <\/FONT>Stonehenge’s summer solstice festival<\/FONT><\/A>, and<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
weren’t even up for the sunrise today.  But, the f\/k\/a<\/EM> gang always knows<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
how to celebrate the seasons: with an extra helping of haiku, of course.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
<\/FONT> <\/DIV>
\n
In addition to today’s featured poet, Canadian haijin DeVar Dahl, we’ve<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
invited Rebecca Lilly, Yu Chang and Kobayashi Issa to our solstice party,<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
with dagosan providing the snacks.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
