Frogpond<\/A><\/EM> (the Journal of the Haiku Society of America) is only <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
published three times a year, so it’s always a treat to find a <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
new edition in my mailbox, as I did today.  The first thing I do <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
(after checking to see what my own haiku looks like in print) <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
is skim the Index of Contributors, to see where to find new  <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
work by f\/k\/a<\/EM>‘s Guest Poets.   There are quite a few gems, <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
which I’ll be sharing with you over the next week, plus haiku <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
and related forms of poetry by dozens of other haijin.  <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
<\/FONT> <\/DIV>
\n
\"fpLogo\"   <\/FONT>Barry George<\/FONT><\/A> has two senryu in the new frogpond<\/EM>. <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
I’m going to save one of them until winter, but this one seems <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
like a very good way cap the <\/FONT>haiku baseball<\/FONT><\/A> season:<\/FONT><\/DIV>
