The Irony of Flying While We Bomb the "World's Greatest Terror Regime"
Ah, the irony of flying at this moment in time as the United States is simultaneously bombing Iran - the nation officials have insisted for decades is "The World's Greatest Terror Regime" - while the TSA is on a go-slow, courtesy of a funding squeeze that's left its officers unpaid, quitting in droves, and turning checkpoints into something like slow-moving bread lines.

Ah vapor trails - you literally make me want to hop on a plane and jet off somewhere lovely. BRILL entry.
Lovely! First sky-ku entry I’ve read and already a high bar has been set
Oh, this is lovely. Well done.
Gorgeous! Paints such a picture!
I love this! Sort of like pursuing an ethereal bread crumb trail through the skies. I should have wrote my thoughts before reading Dharrsheena’s reflections, however.
Another beauty, chum, well done!
Very interesting!
Help, I truly need help. Tell me why did I think that the vapour trails were fart and they were scratching their butt through their striped blue underwear?! There's something very wrong with me, isn't there? But I loved your Haiku!
Hello 👋, this is nice. .
