Jeff Kyser Poet Tanka

Firefly

dystopian world
where Mal and Jane do battle,
speak mandarin, flee
once caught on a summer night
Serenity glows no more

Jeff Kyser March 18, 2022 at 5:13 AM Firefly is a wonderful show if you're a space western fan; sadly, it lasted only 11 episodes and their ship, Serenity, a Firefly-class spaceship, glows no more... :-)
