Well, with all that action, no wonder it's alive.
Mother Nature is a volatile beast. Typical woman...she gets a bit fiesty, lets off a shriek and then blasts you with her lightning reflexes. Job done! You're cooked!
Nicely written

I love the words you've chosen to illustrate the immense power of lightening. With so few words allowed, you've covered the entire activity, and the satori line - perfect. It is so alive. Your presentation is also perfect. Loved it. Kelly

Lightning is a beautiful sight. Every time I see it I'm amazed at its brilliance. Haiku is short, but right to the point. You're right. It's alive! Well penned. Good luck with the contest. Les

Living in New Mexico, during the monsoon season we have some very powerful electrical storms. The monsoon season here is from mid June to mid September. Patricia

This haiku-lightning contest entry has under the 17 maximum syllable as part of the requirement for the contest, three lines, as well. I like the "personification" as it were of the lightning being alive. I have one small suggestion to make every word count, which is so important to a haiku, the word and might be changed to with. Just a thought. Well done. All the best in the contest. :0 GracieAnn
