Ed Baker: "so many frogs"



    so
    many
    frogs
    
    in
    one
    pond

    croaking

             Ed Baker



The above poem by Ed Baker had its "e" left off the word "one" in the first batch of 2nd Annual Bashō Haiku Challenge Chapbooks that went out in the mail.  So, here it is corrected, as it should appear and it will be correct in all copies that go out from hereon.

Ed, thanks, as always, for your work certainly, but for most of all for your generosity and presence. 





foolish frog
don't talk nonsense!

I got me an heat-gun and

the molding and doors
are a deep brownish oak varnished ..

so, I am stripping paint...


thanks for the attention
