moonmilk haiku brick contest! July 10 - August 8 Garner State Park was damaged by floods! But the Friends of Garner will help them rebuild. And we can help support the Friends of Garner by sponsoring a monogrammed brick for the entrance plaza. (7 5/8" x 3 5/8" x 2 1/4") 3/4" letters - 3 lines per brick (Up to 14 letters/spaces per line) 5/8" letters - 4 lines per brick (Up to 16 letters/spaces per brick) Three lines of 14 characters: with great care, that is enough for a haiku. But use 16 characters if you must. Please send your haiku to me: ranjit, at (@) moonmilk.com, before August 8, 3:15 PM EDT (the new moon). Moonmilk will choose at least one and perhaps more than one haiku, and pay the sponsorship fees to have them permanently enshrined at Garner State Park. Yes! Your haiku, on a brick! All haiku submissions will remain the property of the submitters, but entry implies permission to engrave your haiku on a brick in Texas, and to display it proudly on this web site. That's 16 characters per line including spaces, folks. Moonmilk is not associated with Garner State Park or the Friends of Garner. In fact, Moonmilk has never been to Garner State Park, or to Texas, for that matter; however, if opportunity arises, an inspection mission to Garner State Park will be arranged during SIGGRAPH 2002. We do have a friend named Garner.
