Jolted by Twilight

The autumn night started out very peaceful as I fell into a deep sleep. Then the thunder ripped open the early morning as the rain poured down. I was Jolted by Twilight and the loud lightning out of bed. the start to a new evening- twilight from lightning then the moon shines brightly

You can write beautiful poems in any form my dear poet friend. This haibun is awesome. I can feel your words. Thanks for sharing. All the best in the contest. Thanks as well for enjoying my writes. I don't write much this time coz of some disturbances driving my muse away. Hope it will return and stay longer soon.
