pads and helmets
a hundred degrees and a thousand up downs
two-a-days

corn tassels swaying
high overhead
reminders to slow at crossroads

lightning flashes
in the hot summer night
     trees begin hissing

While reading this Haiku I imagined the lightning. Lightning has a mixed effect. It can be such a beautiful and unique sight to see. No two patterns have never been the same.  Since I’ve took this class I now have Haiku eye. I see things so differently now. Lightning can  also can be freighting to many. I find it to interesting how lightning happens. So sudden without warning. My house was struck by lightning. There is a lot of action in this Kuai. I like when they said the tress begin hissing . I pictured the wind starting to blow and the trees swaying from side to side. I felt like the was very well written. Angela
