Perfect Storm

Charcoal clouds
begin to form on
blue canvas of sky
 
Moving quickly
across the expanse
Darkness hovering
 
Menacingly
Spawning thunder claps
Booming loudly
 
Lightning cracks
open the sky
on cue
 
Together
in perfect concert
they perform
 
Before bowing
in acceptance of
the rain’s applause

Frank Tassone is hosting D'Verse Poets Pub
tonight and has prompted us with
a Haiku Sequence.
You can write your haiku using the
traditional 5-7-5 syllable count.
Alternatively, you can write haiku
that can be read aloud in a breath,
using a short-long-short format,
without a syllable count.
