Again, March, or: Silence holds

A haibun

Late March. In the shelter, a mother reads aloud from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland—something about the March Hare. Above us, the air shudders; her voice resumes. I check my phone: the feed refreshes; the people of Tehran—still no signal.

d’Verse Haibun Monday

The above haibun is my take on the prompt at d’Verse, which invites us to craft haibun on the theme of the March Hare.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

Playgrounds, swimming pools and skateparks: Finland’s network of underground bomb shelters.

The cavernous Itakeskus swimming hall in Finland houses a complex of pools and saunas, but can be transformed into a vast underground bomb shelter.

These shelters form a vital part of Finland’s civil defence strategy and can provide a model for other European nations looking to ramp up preparedness after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The #children sat in stunned silence, their #fragile bodies still #tethered to medical drips outside the #okhmatdyt children’s hospital in central #Kyiv
They had not long emerged from the #hospitals dark, #dusty #bombshelter and their eyes were still #adjusting to the light.

A woman rushed past, cradling an #infant covered with #blood. #Okhmadyt
