Subject: Putting a little poetry where the muscel is

An invitation to participate in the International Peace Poem Project.

                           The Peace Poem was started in 1996 on Maui
Island by a six-year-old girl and now contains over 30,000 lines in 60
languages from over 70 nations. We will be presenting the poem to the
United Nations in October of 2000.

                           The process is very simple. Each person
focuses on peace, composes a two-line  poem in the language of her or
his choice, free verse is okay, and hand-prints or writes it onto paper
11 inches or 27.94 centimeters wide. The longer the better Rag paper is
the best because of its strength but is not necessary. Each poem can be
a complete thought and need not connect with the previous entry. Pens
should be used and the authors can print their names and cities to the
right of their poems. The completed papers are then rolled up and mailed
to:

                           PEACE POEM
                           P.O. Box 102
                           Lahaina, HI 96761 USA

                           Please let others know about the Peace Poem.
We want individuals all over the world to become co-authors of the
world's longest poem focused on peace in order to make the strongest of
possible statements to the United Nations in October. For more
information, please refer to our web site at
                           http://www.peacepoem.com

                           All submissions must be mailed by August 31,
2000.

                           Your poems can also be emailed to
poem at maui.net We prefer hand-written poetry but will gladly accept
electronic poetry as well.hand

                           Sincerely, and with much aloha,
