Write an ode to your zip code
The ZipOde, an original form invented by and SA国际传谋, is designed to transform your zip code into an occasion for place-based, lyrical celebration.
You can submit a ZipOde year-round but as we gear up for our 11th annual celebration at Vizcaya now is a good time to get your poem sent.
How To Write a ZipOde
Write the numbers of your zip code down the left-hand side of the page. Each number determines the number of words in that line.
Note: if you have a zero in your zip code, that line is a WILD CARD! You can leave it blank, insert an emoji or symbol, use a punctuation mark, or otherwise surprise us.
An example using zip code 33314

3 as my dog,
1 and
4 it鈥檚 a little scary.
