Love Your Zipcode

Want to write an ode to your zipcode? A new literary project, sponsored by The Fair Housing Center, The Arts Commission, the Toledo Lucas County Public Library, and the Toledo City Paper, are asking Toledo-area residents to write an Ode to the Zip Code. To enter this free competition, submit an entry before April 1. Each entry should be an acrostic, haiku-like poem: simply determine your zip code, and write a 5 line poem where the amount of words in each line are dictated by the digit. For example, 43606: four words, three words, etc. Top entries will receive cash prizes and be invited to perform their poem live on 419 Day at the Main Library.
