Notes

Football haiku are three line poems, one word per line.

Alec edited an international anthology, Football Haiku: sakka no haiku, for the 2002 World Cup (Japan) and is currently editing a new anthology for the 2006 World Cup.

(Note to Editors, can we discuss advertising this new anthology on your site? Shall I send you a copy of the first one?)
