Rainy Day Poetry

It's been very rainy in South Florida lately, so I figured a little rainy day poetry might be good to set the mood! I've been really inspired lately by the weather.

Pattering against the windows
Cold in comparison to the warmth of the sun
in which you hide
behind closed eyelids

Warm and soft
I kick my feet
A womb of blankets
Thoughts drifting away
collecting dust on my shelves

Drifting in and out of sleep
an odd high that comes
without Novocain
I find myself dangerously close
to ruining my own peace

Listening to music drowns it out
The thunderous claps
I'm not afraid
I know not to be

Thirst quenching rain
The earth drinking
sloshing water about
The cup is half full

You gaze at me
sleepily
glossy eyes
Your smile takes away the rain
the sadness
You bring me joy
your sunshine
It's blinding me

Singing silenced
birds hide in their nests
Trees becoming the umbrellas
To keep out the dampness
How sad it must be
To have a home outside

Reception has cut off
I feel alone
Is this cabin fever?
When electricity stops
we all go insane

How peaceful it is
to me
How distressing it is
for you
Why be afraid?
It's just a little moisture

When the top doesn't come up
We sit in a bucket
Drenched
as if we went swimming
How can we walk around
if our clothes are stuck to our bodies?

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.
