Earlier this month, The Takeaway launched the Takeaway Bike Challenge, inviting listeners to get creative and write a haiku about bicycling.
The prize: the top 10 poems would be read out loud and receive a Takeaway-branded bike helmet.
After receiving more than 1,200 submissions, The Takeaway today announced their Top 10 winners. Among them were two poems by local KUOW listeners.
Seattle’s Mimi Boothby wrote:
He gave me a bike lovingly, now he is gone. I still ride with him.
And Peter Smith wrote:A new world opens: Faces, sounds, seasonal change At the speed of bike.
Congrats Challenge winners!Share this post
