Hi Mark! This was fun to conjure up based on memorable thunderstorms. Yes, it was good to leave out a tornado - enough electricity on the loose! Hope all is well with you. Be blessed my friend.

Thank you, Michelle. A friend was telling me about a recent thunderstorm in their area - it triggered this poem. Wish I had thought of the electricity! So good to hear from you! All the best.

"Firebolts", great imagery, Sam. One of nature's greatest spectacles. Worth getting your kids out of bed for! Nice haiku, my friend ~ John

Had to search for the right opening word - "firebolts" seemed to fit the bill. Love thunderstorms - our youngest and I would watch them together reveling in their magnificence! Thank you, as always, for your thoughtful perspective and your message my friend! Soup mail to you.
