Beckham

Still in the top ten,
quiet South Asian British
movie makes much bank.

Congrats to Chingwen and Wes! Chingwen, you get a DVD of Frieda Lee Mock's Oscar-winning documentary about Maya Lin -- but please contact us, 'cause we don't have contact info for you.
 
Also, our apologies for taking so long to finish this contest -- and to those who submitted haiku which were not published. We've had a glitch in the system which we've just recently been able to correct. Be sure to check out the new HaikuFu contest index, where you can find the latest contest and submit your poems directly through the comments section of the website. All the best!
