Frogpond<\/a> <\/em>31:2 (Spring\/Summer 2008) plopped into my mailbox yesterday. Of course, it’s the first-rate haiku and senryu, and other haikai forms, that make the Haiku Society of America’s journal so special. Because the poems are not available online from Frogpond<\/em>, I’m going to rush some of those written by our Honored Guest Poets<\/a> to you right away. Later today, I may add a few editorial comments about this first Frogpond<\/em> issue edited by our haiku friend and mentor George Swede<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
