The mystery of Mars, and it's life from a long lost past. Will we ever know why it's life didn't last. The answers are always out there, like everything else it just takes time. Maybe I should tell you why, and put it into rhyme. Wonderful Haiku series Phyllis. Have a lovely Sunday....:)

Nice set of haiku poems. However, our planets are located in the Solar System and the Milky Way is the galaxy where our sun (aka "Sol") is located.
