Haiku As Poem

Haiku-like poem 

Only the raven 
Sits on the branches 
Of a dead tree

Bark falls off 
Porous and rotten
Exposing dry wood

Skeletal branches
Seeking succour 
Forsaken by god

Thunderstorm
Lightning strikes    
Pyre and ashes

Multi layered collection of haikus. A couple had a dark edge to them.
