My son is really the creative genius of the family and his writing has grown very popular on tumblr.
But he's got a chance to be really out of this world. Take a look at his haiku here: http://lasp.colorado.edu/maven/goingtomars/entry/?29454
And if you like it, vote to give it a chance to be sent to Mars!

Re: Send my son's haiku to Mars
I voted too. He's currently second. I think his entry is better than the current no.1.

+1 from me too. It's much better than the current leader, which I suspect is only there courtesy of the Harry Potter reference ...

Re: Send my son's haiku to Mars
Definitely gets my vote.. good to see he's now thoroughly outstripping the muggle in second place..

Re: Send my son's haiku to Mars
Weirdly that haiku with the Harry Potter reference seems to have dropped a lot of votes and is now down on the second page with only 195 votes.

Re: Send my son's haiku to Mars
Sounds like maybe someone was using the old "delete cookie and re-vote" trick.. it only works until somebody notices that the same IP voted over 800 times.JazHaz wrote:Weirdly that haiku with the Harry Potter reference seems to have dropped a lot of votes and is now down on the second page with only 195 votes.
