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

Lightning and thunder, i always get scared when they play their games .. what a deep and powerful write with such moving imagery. I love “ ominous stillness” “ mirage of thunder! Love this haiku! So well crafted descriptions in sheer eloquence.
