NASA Mars Project

Hello, Planet Mars:
Led by your twinkling red light,
MAVEN comes in peace.

Everyone who submits a haiku will have his name on the DVD. Someday, at least my name will be on Mars.

One haiku formula:

A poem by me, composed of 4 haiku, about someone buried at Pleasant Ridge:

I will shelter here,
sharing with these silent friends
nights of black velvet;

Leaves of gold and flame
falling from the autumn skies
will adorn my bed.

Winds of many moods
and melodies will whisper
soft, like a lover,

While I close my eyes,
as petals of petunias
close in the darkness.

Fabulous poem! The Martians will think we're all gentle geniuses here on Earth.
