I wanted to title this something different, but worried that my chosen title might cause problems entering the United States in the future so this is the new title. It's the greatest title. No one has ever written a title better than this. (All titles unrelated to content).
Let me be honest. I am finding this difficult. Now, I like a challenge, a stretch, a bit of an obstacle course. “Write about the decline of the British Empire in the form of a narrative poem in which your protagonist is an artichoke” I read, and flex my fingers. “Write a haiku to evoke the sensation of sibilance using only the first half of the alphabet.” “Well”, I think to myself, “this should be fun.” But “write about a system that isn’t working”? A system that isn’t working? Now? In 2026? ONE system? My favourite system that isn’t working? The sexiest system that isn’t working? The one giving me the most angst day to day? The one giving me the most existential dread? I am, as I say, finding this difficult. I will own that I have contemplated writing a thousand words on why the steady “all on” setting on my fairy lights is the EIGHTH of seven options which must be sequentially activated to get there, because that is a system that some fool came up with and it definitely doesn’t work, and now who is paying the price, eh? But how can I write about my fairy lights when…. When…. When….

I forgot about this movie!! Good choice Angie!!!
⚡♥️⚡
great piece
Great haiku! So relevant. I haven't stopped thinking about this film since Elon Musk talked about his robots.
The movie is ok for memory! Nice bad review! Helpful robots?! Hah! 😄
I've not seen it, so it seems like a pretty decent review to me!
My friends at school were always talking about this movie but I've not watched it. Loved your Haiku!
Great Haiku, Angie! Azimov's I Robot was certainly better than that movie, that's for sure!
Very nice!
Great job! Actually makes me want to re-watch it
I actually liked this movie! Thought the robots were cool, like this haiku.
What a great entry! Thank you so very much
Well done, I think. Lol. I haven't actually seen.it.
