So, NPR posted about MAVEN sending haiku to Mars - and of course, I took up the challenge. The first stanza is all that was submitted (only one entry per person for this one)...
Haiku/Senyru to the Red Planet
Red planet, sister
what lessons can you teach us
before it's too late?
Red planet, brother
what wars decimated you
long 'ere I was born?
Red planet, mother
did your people flee here
for a better life?
Red planet, father
protector or destroyer
sent us sons of strife
Red planet, beacon
lesson for us all on Earth
to reconnect with her
Red planet, ghost of
things yet to come, future can
be changed; can we choose?
