dead by lightning bolt

LOL, Love this Haiku. This is for me the best Haiku I have ever read. Haiku's don't usually appeal to me but this one is genius. I love it. It will be going in my favorites.

Your style is so engaging! I noticed the assonance you create with 'tentacles begging...dead.' Super job!! Best wishes, Keith :) (PS Good Luck!)
