Judging from the verse that flowed into The Denver Post $25 Haiku Contest box this week, a lot of you poets are remembering things with the help of strings tied around your fingers. Winner Eliana Caplan of Denver has her memories wound up a different way:

Now packs them for her daughter,
Her own dreams? Zip-locked.
