I just thought of this haiku last night as I was staring out my office window. I could see lightning in the distance and a little rumble of thunder. Shortly after the lightning, it started to rain.
Taps on the rooftop
Lightning dances with vengeance
The clouds start to weep
Let me know what you think!
Thanks for reading!

I love it! You chose powerful words to convey an experience. It’s so much more meaningful than just saying, “It rained last night.” 🙂

A vibrant and sensory scene. 🌧⛈
Tapdancing on the rooftop is what I would be doing if rain fell in the desert. 😄

Haha! I bet you would too! I can send some snow your way if you want, got some of that left. It’s going quick, so you better hurry up and decide. Haha 😂
