THE WINNER<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A paradiddle.<\/p>\n

The sticks connect, pop, bounce,<\/p>\n

like koi blowing bubbles.<\/p>\n

With a pop of light<\/p>\n

Night becomes a summer day<\/p>\n

Flowers bloom in sky<\/p>\n

—Jonathan Trace<\/strong><\/a> (Fukuoka-ken, 2005-08)<\/p>\n

**********<\/p>\n

New Year is now here
\nFilled with hope for Obama
\nReady to pop with change!<\/p>\n

—Stacy Smith<\/strong><\/a> (Kumamoto-ken, 2000-03)<\/p>\n

**********<\/p>\n

Rising sun blazing
\nPop goes my Pocari Sweat
\nBrow wiped by hanky<\/p>\n

—Randall David Cook<\/strong> (Fukui-ken, 1991-93)<\/p>\n

**********<\/p>\n

I landed a part
\nWith five other handsome guys
\nI’m a pop star now.<\/p>\n

—Rick Ambrosio<\/strong><\/a> <\/em> (Ibaraki-ken, 2006-08)<\/p>\n

Design destruction,
\nWasted ink on fine Paper,
\nThis pop art stuff sucks.<\/p>\n

—Rick Ambrosio<\/strong><\/a> <\/em> (Ibaraki-ken, 2006-08)<\/p>\n

Gundam-mania
\nHarajuku Cosplay Fun,
\nI Love Pop Japan<\/p>\n

—Rick Ambrosio<\/strong><\/a> <\/em> (Ibaraki-ken, 2006-08)<\/p>\n

Pop from childhood dreams
\nTo my daughter’s nursery walls
\nGood night, Totoro.<\/p>\n
