Yoko Ono to judge Twitter Haiku contest

Yoko Ono is set to judge an interactive haiku poetry competition on social network Twitter.

The event - which will see the 17-syllable poems appearing on a billboard at London's King's Cross station - started yesterday and runs till Friday.

People travelling into Kings Cross are being asked to submit Haiku-style poems on the subject of the British Summer via Twitter with the phrase @kingsplace.

Entries - one of which will be shown every 20 minutes - will then be judged by Yoko Ono and leading UK poet Jackie Kay MBE who will pick the winner.

In Haiku news I guess I could have said: "Station passengers, haiku Twitters all seen by, one Yoko Ono."
