The case of the missing haiku

Posted on January 25, 2012

Last week I was on vacation and didn’t have enough haiku in queue, so for the last few days no new reviews showed up on this blog. The nice thing about blogs is the ability to go back and post something on a previous date, so that’s what I plan to do in a few minutes.

As I do that though, I just saw an article that said James Farentino, one of the stars of The Final Countdown died of heart failure. Since that was the last Review Haiku to appear, I thought it was worthwhile noting his passing. It was a good movie, and his role in it was an important one.

There’s a great quote in the film, which inspired the haiku above: “Humans are cowards in the face of happiness. You need courage to hold onto happiness.”
