The latest edition of Frogpond, the journal of The Haiku Society of America, just arrived.
Many classic haiku feature frogs and frogponds, with Basho‘s famous poem being one of the most beloved:
The old pond–
a frog jumps in,
sound of water
(translated by Robert Hass
from The Essential Haiku)
Here’s a sample from Frogpond XXVII:2 (2004)
divorced
he finishes
his sentence
by Tom Painting
autumn loneliness—
your final letter to me
with a missing page
~ ~ ~ ~
warm winter evening—
the chairs askew
after the poetry reading
by dagosan:
the late-riser
stays for an encore:
eyelid lightshow
