\"\" M<\/strong><\/em>y<\/strong> <\/strong>contributions to the now-defunct MagnaPoets Japanese Form<\/em><\/a> group weblog (under the proprietorship of the enviably multi-talented Aurora Antonovic, editor of the MagnaPoets Journal<\/a><\/em>) were too numerous and too enjoyable to risk losing them as the Journal goes through changes. \u00a0\u00a0 So, I’ve decided to collect many of them here at f\/k\/a <\/em>for future reference.\u00a0 Most of the posts were haiga, but there were also many single haiku and senryu, along with an occasional sequence of poems.\u00a0 Included are dozens of “Nostalgia Haiga<\/em>” incorporating photos taken by my mother (Mama G.) over half a century ago.\u00a0 [update<\/em>: I did not finish this project, but am glad to have salvaged quite a few of the haiga.]<\/p>\n

The photos in the haiga below were taken by my lawyer brother Art Giacalone<\/a>, or by my mother Connie M. Giacalone, a\/k\/a<\/em> Mama G (plus one by Yu Chang and one by myself). They are presented in reverse-chronological order.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
