September 1st!  Summer’s almost gone, but I have no (r)egrets — the <\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/DIV>
\n
fall edition of The Heron’s Nest<\/FONT><\/EM><\/A> (Vol. VII:3, Sept. 2005) <\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/SPAN>is now online. <\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/DIV>
\n
Each new edition of THN<\/EM> gets my juices flowing — because there are <\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/DIV>
\n
always <\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/SPAN>so many great haiku, and because many of them will be written <\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/DIV>
\n
by <\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/SPAN>poets who are f\/k\/a<\/EM> Honored Guests, which means I can share them <\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/DIV>

with <\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/SPAN>you directly.<\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/DIV>

\n
paul m<\/A>, one of our earliest and favorite guest poets.  Here’s his <\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/DIV>

winning poem (and here’s excellent Commentary<\/A> on it by Peggy <\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/DIV>
