II.  Editor's Note
*************************************************************

We have had another wave of new subscribers, and are so thrilled
to have you all, both those who are unpublished explorers, and
those who come to us with "Official Credentials".  I hope that
new subscribers from both groups, and those of us who fall in
between those categories, will feel welcome to send us your
poems, comments, essays or articles!

Several people have sent notes saying that they would like to
learn more about writing haiku, but are too embarassed to send
in their poems.  Don't be shy!  We do not print every poem we
receive, and will refrain from printing yours if you request
us to do so.  You can send in poems and ask for help with polishing
here, and we will be glad to help, but you may also be interested
in exploring a new Haiku discussion group on the net called
SHIKI-L.  To join SHIKI-L, send a mail message to:

    Majordomo@cc.matsuyama-u.ac.jp

with the following command in the body of the message:

    subscribe shiki YOUR NAME 

You will then be able to send your poems and questions there
for instant review and comment by the other list members.  We
hope you will still send us your work also so that it can be
shared with our 500+ subscribers as well!
