An Ode to Your ZIP Code
In honor of National Poetry Month, each April Takeaway affiliate station WLRN and the O, Miami Poetry festival hold a poetry contest. This year’s challenge: Write a "Zip Ode"—a five-line poem inspired by your ZIP code. The length of each line is determined by the digits of your ZIP code. Listeners across the country submitted hundreds and hundreds of poems, and all month long, The Takeaway shared some of its favorites from around the nation.
