Cloudburst

two bodies shudder locked arms and legs disengage… wild wind rushes in agitated the tent flees they took an early shower © Harry J Horsman 2023

Much drama and action is conveyed in few words, through your brilliant writing, Harry. I much enjoyed visiting this wild, stormy scene. :)

Oh, my goodness Harry! I did see a tent flip over and blow away, happily, nobody was in it at the time!

What a shock ! Harry you wrote in 5 little lines, what would take most of us a page to write, and yet every detail, every shivery deluge, and windy thief stealing their tent, right up to the unexpected soaking they received. Wonderful Harry. A delight to read.

frivolity of life transient moments and wind bursts of change, all can be re arranged at a moment's notice dear Harry, lovely Haiku :)

Cloudburst is something abrupt and unanticipated. You have brought its force and fury so well, harry !

Vintage Harry Horseman, I'd say. A lively combination of the possible, the impossible, the hilarious, and the realism of it -- all in five lines!

Mother nature at her best, giving humans an endurance test, it's time for a quick break. Short and sweet, Harry! Well done...ab
