So Subtle the Storm

stir distant rumbles

  zig zag wink heat lightning's zaps--

    sheets of rain scream down

Thank you so much for noticing, Eve! And congrats to you for your big win with 'Mockingbird Love Song' in the same contest. I can just picture that 'bachelor' warbling away on a hot, humid summer's night, as you depicted it. Best wishes, Gershon

I guess you might want to call this a 'scream of a Haiku.' LOL... Thank you so much for viewing this one and for the enthusiasm, Andrea! AND congrats to you on your top win in the same contest! Best wishes, Gershon

Sometimes, they do seem to be, "screaming" down. Good one.

I'm trying my best on these haikus. They certainly do not come 'NATURE-ally' to me. :) gw
