Dear Michelle, your imagery of heat lightning is rich and evocative of humid summer nights. I adore your last line "mirage of thunder' - wow! Your golden pen is brilliant as always my inspiring friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

As George Carlin once recorded: But there's a squadron of Russian IBMs headed straight for us, so 'I wouldn't sweat the thundershowers!' lol... Impactful, impressive imagery, Michelle. ~ Gershon

For me, it's the ominous stillness in wait for the thunder that adds added depth to your wonderful haiku. Cheers - Gary
