This blog is an extension of the ideas presented in my book (Haiku Notebook Second Edition, smashwords.com, 2010). It is intended to be a forum for discussing haiku and haibun. My hope as an educator is to stimulate interest in writing these forms. So, please feel free to post. [NOTE: click "comments" to read poems by other poets, as well as discussion]. Thank you for visiting!

I really like this.
At first glance it looks simple (always good for haiku) but it isn't a cause and effect poem at all.
The word choice of 'thunder' at the beginning works well, both to the ear, and visually.
all my best,
Alan
