Stunning flash of light,

Illuminating the night,

Forcing me awake.

    Hi Rebecca Have hearted and subscribed. I loved your Sky-ku! Here in Brisbane Australia, I long for the lighting and thunder storms. We’ve had 2 over 2 weeks. And if the dark dark clouds have a tint of green - two downpours. Hail, squalling rain then hopefully continuing solid downpours. Sheer relief to break the stifling humidity of our Summer season. Pauline 🌸

  • I love your sky-ku… & storms… as long as I’m safe & sound inside ✅

  • I've been woken up this way a few times. Not fun at all 😅 Loved your poem!
