Abstract

In eighth grade I entered a Haiku poetry contest on WBAI radio in Detroit. My poems won two weeks in a row and were read over the air. The prize for the monthly winner was an all-expenses paid trip to Japan. Two out of four; I figured I was a shoo-in. But someone else won the trip to Japan.
