PROMPT: Notable

What notable things happened today?

Israel bombed Iran, so we’ll see what that triggers.

Authorities confirmed that only one person is known to have survived the tragic Ahmedabad – London flight crash yesterday. Just like the movie “Unbreakable.”

Other than that, it was all just tales of the slow descent of mankind.

Spring’s arrival
brings lush, green grass;
livestock keeps it trim.

Camouflage [Senryū]

tree, wrapped in vines,
shape broken & trunk hidden;
an attempt to blend?

Spring’s Story [Haiku]

unfurled buds,
not drooped to gravity,
tell Spring’s story.

Green Door [Free Verse]

What mysteries lie behind
That old green wooden door:
Carved elaborately
In bygone days?

On a street that features only sights
Both newer and more decrepit,
It stands out as a grand entrance
That begs something special
Beyond.

I’d hate to think it’s just
Old paint cans —
Half empty and congealed
Beyond usefulness.

I doubt it’s a brothel or speakeasy —
Too silent…
But a vault of lost masterpieces,
Inhabited by a hairy-legged spider,
Might not be too much to ask.
