I almost called this post “Hall of Fame.” When I first introduced
Carolyn Hall at this website, last December, I noted:
Although she first became aquainted with haiku five
years ago, Carolyn has been winning so many haiku
awards (e.g., from Heron’s Nest) that we can’t possibly
list them all.
Carolyn has continued to shine in 2005, as can be seen from
the results of two annual contests held by Snapshots Press.
First, this haiku was selected as the featured poem for June
in Snapshot’s 2006 Haiku Calendar (click to order):
wild berries—
one training wheel
lifts round the curve
Two additional poems by Carolyn were also chosen as Runners-up
selections for the Calendar. More important, Carolyn’s collection
of haiku, entitled Water Lines, was one of three joint winners in The
Snapshot Press Haiku Collection Competition 2004. Snapshot
will therefore publish the full collection as an individual volume before
the end of 2005. Here are four poems from Water Lines, the first
two of which have previously appeared at f/k/a:
slave cemetery
the tug of the current
on willow fronds
getting acquainted—
I learn another name
for wild radish
baiting one fish
with another
autumn dawn
twilight
the poultry truck returns
with empty cages
“getting acquainted” – 2003 Brady Senryu Competition, Hon. Men., Frogpond XXVII: 1
“slave cemetery” – tug of the current: rma 2004
Congratulations, Carolyn, and thanks again for
sharing your work with f/k/a‘s visitors.
