HAIKU
somber grey masses
thunder and lightning rolled
quietening the birds
thunder and lightning rolled
quietening the birds

The few words say it all. I really like this one. Today was a day like that, dark, foreboding, not a bird singing
The birds that are bigger, magpies, and the hooded crows that bang on my window, were strangely silent, tucked away somewhere , away from the dreary steel grey sky,
I wonder, should I too go to bed.
Keep writing these lovely poems.
However poetry seems to have flown but i always loved Hiaku and reading here too.
Hope you are well and all goes good for you
I love the movement in this piece, in addition to your vivid word pictures.
The first two lines paint a scene of thunderous activity and loudness.
In sharp contrast, in the final line, the focus shifts to hushed quietness.
This movement enhances the piece.
Great haiku!
