Family Film Night: Haiku Collection

Seeing Rogue One was a great way to spend time with my family. It was also a great source of inspiration for a few haikus.

A family night

Went with my folks to see it

My uncle came, too

Popcorn in my hand

Adds to the fantastic scene

I gotta get it

King Kong: Skull Island

Tom Hiddleston is in it

Want to see it. NOW!

Johnny Cash cover

Nice fit for Old Wolverine

Want to see Logan

Trailer for Boss Baby

Deplorable. You know why?

Main guy hates puppies

Trailer for Boss Baby

That movie is many things

But it’s not funny

The overall impression:

Not that creative

There’s no title crawl

Like watching a comic book

Crossed with a war flick

The callbacks were nice

Brought dead actors from the grave

Awesome Darth Vader

Very awesome bot

C-3PO except not

Has dry humor

Blind NOT Jedi Knight

No lightsaber required

Whoops a lot of butt

His sidekick’s fun, too

Cracks a joke with a big smirk

Packs a big boomstick

“I deserve credit!”

White general's so wimpy

Never gets his way

This one character

Can’t remember his name now

I call him Arrow.

He was a sniper.

Who had conflicting feelings

He lost everything

He reminds me of

Cellist of Sarejvo

Reminds me of her

Her name is Arrow

A character like that guy

Captain What’s-his-face

She was a sniper

Who had conflicting feelings

She lost everything

Here I am, thinking,

“They are the same character

Different names and sex”

Diego Luna

He plays Arrow in the film

He is kind of cute

Jyn the rebel girl

Her father made the Death Star

She has connections

Quite the risk taker

Wants to steal the Death Star plans

But no one budges

Defective Pilot

Starts off cowardly but then

Becomes awesome, man!

Princess Leia’s eyes

Very Disney-Princess-Y

It’s quite disturbing

Jyn and Arrow love:

They hug, hold hands, and that’s it

I guess that’s enough

Jyn and Arrow love:

Hey! Jyn! Arrow! Guys! Hello?!?

Just kiss already!

Jyn? Arrow? A word?

You’re on a beach together

Just kiss already!

Jyn? Arrow? A word?

Death is minutes away now

Just kiss already!

Ending of Rogue One:

The moral of this story

War is bad. The end.

To quote Patrick Star:

“Everyone died. The end.” (Smiles)

Wow, Star Wars, that’s dark.

Here I am thinking:

“This movie is so awesome

Burning way past cool”

An adhesive flick

Put the two arcs together

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
