<h1>Haiku</h1>
<h2>Due to Popular Demand</h2></div>
<b>
<p>I have been asked by several people to include a Haiku page<br>
I had been tring to avoid this as I have seen it in several other sites, and did not want to appear to be "copying".</p>
<p>However, as Haiku is an essence of Japanese culture, I have rethought this,
and now include this page to allow you to submit your own attempts!</p>
<p align="center"><img src="bamboo.gif" width="576" heigh="57" alt="bamboo branch"></p>
<p><dl>RULES :<br>
<dd>Haiku is a verse of 17 syllables, split 5,7,5<br>
All submissions must conform.</dd>
<dd>Serious and frivolent, even personal charicatures, will be allowed.</dd>
<dd>The editor (me) will vet the content, and I reserve the right not to publish
any obscene ones.</dd>
</dl>

<p align="center">Ok, so start the ball rolling, and <a href="mailto:haiku@umaremasu.co.uk">e-mail
me your Haiku</a>, so I can publish it here!</p>
