Announcing December 2006 Haiku Thread

For December 2006 the theme for the monthly thread will be “outer wear”—by this we mean an external garment or covering that humans wear. The thread will run from December 1 - 24 (Saturday), 2007. The Editor's Choice Haiku will be selected from this thread for the 30 December, 2006 Sketchbook. Rita Odeh will lead the thread.
