Haiku champion
Tasia Mamiya, an eighth-gradeer at Iolani School has won the JAL World Children's Haiku Contest sponsored by Japan Airlines and the JAL Foundation. This year's theme was "House." Tasia's piece, which addressed the plight of the homeless, was chosen from among 703 entries.
She will be the Hawaii representative at the JAL Haiku Camp at Matsuyama City, Japan, next month.
Her winning haiku:
Although a small box
It is much more to one man
He calls it his home.
