Wow, nice job!
Your first line introduces the sound, that follows the flash.
Your second line makes a special point of the bright flash, which is often fantastic (or scary if it's too close) to see.
The last line is my favorite - as a meteorologist (and human) I can truly appreciate the truly "alive" feeling of lightning.
Nice job!
Carol

This haiku about lightning, Flash Sonic Boom, gathers a lot of things together for this brief poem. The sonic boom that occurs as thunder as the electricity shorts to ground, and the high-powered effect of light that we all recognize, work well to remind of the natural view. The final line, It's Alive, takes me to Frankenstein's laboratory and the Hollywood theatrics of using lightning to bring a creature to life. Nice job with this.

This haiku has great imagery, and the picture is a perfect choice. The break from the traditional 5-7-5 format enhances the power of the piece. Thanks for sharing.

A strong, arresting image. It comes alive on the page. For a classic Haiku, I wonder at the e syllable count.. Good luck, meanwhile I am enlightened. -Ekim777

Nice entry into the haiku contest which evokes visions of a rainstorm and the budding of nature. Also it makes you think of Frankenstein.

I hope you did well.

Keep writing

Lightnings are beautiful, but can also be very scary. I was wondering if it would make more sense to put the 'and' into the second line, that way the short /long/ short would be more pronounced. Just a thought.
All the best in the contest. :)

A very haiku with lines one and two interconnecting perfectly and line three is a perfect satori. Good description of lightning and I wish you good luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy x
