Haiku Tribute Challenge May 7

For May’s Per Diem feature on The Haiku Foundation website Carlos Colón has selected poems written as tributes to fellow haiku poets, but without indicating who the recipient of the tribute is. We challenge you to identify the poet being honored today, May 7. Read the Per Diem poem, then send us the name of who you think is the honoree in the comment box below. All recipients, and identifiers, will be revealed at the end of the month. Good luck!

  1. Karma Tenzing Wangchuk’s poem was written for Kay F. Anderson and published in
    The Heron’s Nest IX.2 (2007).

    Roberta is correct.

    Garry, Ellen Compton’s poem is tomorrow’s poem (today’s poem) (May 8th). Is that muddy enough

  2. Karma Tenzing Wangchuk’s poem was written for Kay F. Anderson and published in

    Roberta is correct.

    Garry, Ellen Compton’s poem is tomorrow’s poem (today’s poem) (May 8th). Is that muddy enough?

  3. Is it too simple to say Tokugawa Ieyasu and the Black Tsugumi (thrush)?

  4. Good guesses, Scott and Garry, but Tenzing was memorializing someone else.

  5. L. A. Davidson

    (another guess, in this instance based on the star reference)
