a brief haiku thunderstorm story..

each stanza is a 5-7-5 haiku thunderstorming skies... my tongue reaches to catch the Important raindrops the lightning's flash causes me to flinch in surprise Then an after boom A squeak of fear static electricity makes my hair rise up maybe inside is a a much better place to be in a thunderstorm

Never run when you are afraid unless it is to attack! Aloha! Rico

Good thinking, but no, as a flash of lightning doesn't hang around long enough for retribution, which is why aboriginals believe it must be sacred. Aloha! Rico

If you attack lightening, won't you end up like a fried chicken? =]

It's not a good sign if you are standing in a thunderstorm and your hair stands up, just sayin'.
