Traditional haiku is intended to represent a single moment or event that the poet observes, connected with nature and, frequently, a season. The pop version is about anything the poet wants it to be. You can get an idea of the diversity by googling “pop haiku.”

This is no paint-by-number musical knockoff group. The Fuzz is more like an impressionistic painting, or a soft watercolor inspired by a photo, not the photo itself. And if you grew up in the 60s or early 70s — or just love what many consider the best music ever written — The Fuzz will take you back, wrapping you in mellow memories during the trip.

By Greg Smith • Late July and early August are the time for "shooting stars," which are actually not stars, but meteors. The most famous meteor shower is the Perseids. It is called the Perseids because the meteors stream into the Earth from the direction of the constellation Perseus. . . There is a lot to see on a clear night in the summer, and this is the best time of year for us to see what’s out there. So as you relax and look for meteors, just look around, pan the binoculars across the sky, and see the grandeur of the star clouds of the Milky Way. See what you can discover. Maybe you’ll see wonders you’ve never seen before and be thrilled like the astronomers of old.

I broke my own heart”); and her use of alcohol and heroin wasn’t helping matters either.
