This time we suggest the following to those who wish to continue with what they've already learned:
1. before the meeting, write a haiku either on the topic of “summer” or anything you would like. Copy it on a postcard and send it to: ESUJ “Haiku in English”, Fujikage-Building 9th Floor, Motoakasaka 1-1-5 Minato-ku, Tokyo 107-0051. Deadline: June 20 (Tues.) Don't forget to include your name!
2. At our meeting on July 6, Miyashita-san will evaluate the submissions without mentioning the names of the writers. After this, she will instruct us in how to write great haiku. We will also have a free writing session, time permitting.
Join us for the fun! It's a great chance to study together.
