Would like to know how and when I could enter Robert Frost contest for poems, they won’t be mine, but my brothers, that has gone to meet his Lord, we didn’t get to do that before he left. Thanks Loretta

Sept./Oct issue poetry on pages 18-19, “Spec” and “Calling You” are beautiful.
The Haikus are NOT English Haiku. I taught college level Language Arts for 35 years and published a book on writing poetry.
The syllable count in English Haiku is 5 7 5. (and there are 6 other characteristics of English Haiku.) None of the ones on page 19 are Haiku.
In Chinese and Japanese, Haiku is done in characters, therefore, no syllable count. They are very difficult to translate into English.

A pleasure to read all three works. Good strong voices in these poems.

I just read the winning poems in your magazine and since I have written thousands of poems, I decided to submit one but guess the contest is not open at this time. Please let me know when I can send an entry. Thanks, Dorothy Brown Griggs
