A Haiku, The Rain

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!

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

    1. Thank you for the compliment! It’s been years since I wrote haikus, just got back into writing them this year. I Love the challenge of trying to convey a message in such few words. Every word needs to be impactful. I do enjoy them. Thank you so much for reading!
