Commuters arriving into Kings Cross are invited to submit three line

Commuters arriving into Kings Cross are invited to submit three line
haiku-style poems on the subject of the British summer from their mobile
phones using Twitter. To submit haikus, commuters have to place the prefix
@kingsplace so their entries will be picked up by the Kings Place Twitter

minutes on the largest digital billboard at the station.
The initiative has been launched by Kings Place, a cultural and conference
centre, situated in Kings Cross.
