Swift space shuttle speeds~
Explode its deep dark mysteries~

i have been reading u_gene's tankas and their beauty simply move me no end...feeling tempted,i have decided to try one out myself...this is probably sub-standard so any comments to improve this will be greatly appreciated

This is good!! Gene is an expert...he inspired me to give it a go too.

Achicade, u_genes Tankas are to be found in the corner pub if you go to "show topics from past 5 days". Very worth finding!!

Love and hugs,

I thought a relative haiku was:

Relatives visit
