Just a quick reminder that this Thursday, October 2nd, is the deadline for the Basho Haiku Challenge. No entries will be accepted after Thursday.
The response has been very good, indeed, but there is always room for more so, if you were thinking of sending some along, consider this your nudge from me.
Tomorrow at this time (6:00 am), I'll be in a near panic mode as the lifelong learning session on poetry appreciation will be just a few hours off. I've decided to add one Issa poem to the original list of poems I'll be reading with the group. Somehow, it makes it feel complete. Here it is, in the Robert Hass translation:

you never can tell when "something" will 'hit the mark' and turn-a-life
Yes, good luck. I'll bet it'll be fun.
Best of luck on the presentation! You'll be brilliant, as always. As a former colleague of ours once said, "It'll be fine, and if it's not fine, it'll be over."
Also, love the frog photo. I just want to give him a great big hug. Stone frogs need love too!
