Ah thunder scares me, its freaky, but ofcourse i know few who enjoy the lightning shows across skies. A powerful and soul hitting haiku. Makes me wonder, what the weather is like there. Its always amazing how you deliver and craft haiku my beautiful sara. You are amazing! And how you use alliterations too in a seamless flow is beyond impressive! Loved this!

Thanks, 'Ink,' for stopping by. Thunder scares me, too. I like to watch lightning but from inside my house. In late fall and early spring we can have pretty violent storms sometimes with tornadoes. Those really scare me!! Thanks for your kind words about my alliterations within my Haikus. I appreciate you and your consistency in reading and commenting, Enjoy your day, Sara

thanks for stopping by, Yann. Yes, storms are dangers. Sometimes they're also magnificent displays :-) enjoy the remainder of your evening, Sara

Some very explosive lightning there. I imagine at least one something got burned from its landing. Thanks for sharing your very descriptive work with us. Sometimes here lightning will strike and hit something, and it is like the old breaking the sound barrier that fighter jets would do from time to time. I appreciate all the visits to my pages. Sara

Thanks for stopping by. I agree...sometimes lightning sounds like it will break the sound barrier. It hurts my ears. Thanks for your kind words. Have a great evening, Sara

sara, I went right into this poem’s image. I must tell you that in my 1st reading, I didn’t see the ./period between strikes & stiff. And, lt being a haiku, didn’t expect a . there either. In badt-storms, it often feel to me as if lightning is striking air angrily. & then, kinda off-reading Sotto’s words, made me see this a superb metaphor for current world events! A rich pen! Roses are being thrown over your feet, bravo!

thanks for stopping by, Sally, and for your kind comments. I can see that the period would throw a person off. I'm a former English teacher and not using punctuation is a challenge for me. Sorry 'bout that :-) I agree...lightning hits the ground angrily...well said. Roses at my feet? Wow. Thank you. Be well, Sara
