I almost called this post “Hall of Fame.”  When I first <\/FONT>introduced<\/FONT><\/A> <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
Carolyn Hall<\/A> at this website, last December, I noted:<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n

\n

Although she first became aquainted with haiku five
years ago, Carolyn has been winning so many haiku
awards (e.g., from Heron’s Nest<\/FONT><\/A><\/EM>)<\/FONT> that we can’t possibly
list them all.
<\/DIV><\/BLOCKQUOTE><\/FONT>
\n
Carolyn has continued to shine in 2005, as can be seen from
the results of two annual contests held by Snapshots Press<\/FONT><\/A>.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
First, this haiku was selected<\/FONT><\/A> as the featured poem for June <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
in Snapshot’s <\/FONT>2006 Haiku Calendar<\/A> (click to order):<\/FONT><\/DIV>

Two additional poems by Carolyn were also chosen as Runners-up<\/DIV>
\n
selections for the Calendar.   More important, Carolyn’s collection <\/DIV>
\n
of haiku, entitled Water Lines<\/EM>, was one of three joint winners in The <\/DIV>
\n
Snapshot Press <\/FONT>Haiku Collection Competition<\/FONT><\/A> 2004.  Snapshot <\/DIV>
\n
will therefore publish the full collection as an individual volume before <\/DIV>
\n
the end of  2005.  Here are four poems from Water Lines<\/EM>, the first <\/DIV>
\n
two of which have previously appeared at f\/k\/a:<\/DIV>
