Hi FML, The filk song & poem book that I have been compiling to raise funds for the shelters is very close to being finished. I hope to have it ready for printing by the end of next week. There have been a lot of haikus and other poems on the list recently.. if any of you would like to have your haikus or other poems in the book please send them to me at [log in to unmask] While looking through the archives, I also found a few that would be wonderful additions to the book, but I need permission from the authors before using them. These are the ones that I don't yet have permission to include.. if they are yours, please send me an email and let me know if you would like them in the book: "A Shelter Poem" by Michael Janke "'Twas the night before Easter" by ?
