     thundery night, 
I switched off our ADSL --
still thundering


Following thundery-haiku is from w. f. owen's Haiku Notebook (Lulu.com 2007)


distant thunder
the neighbor's dog
scratches the door


Next one copyright Robert Spiess:

Muttering thunder . . .
the bottom of the river
scattered with clams

(Robert Spiess)

And also Basho, Station 15 - Iizuka

I stopped overnight at Iizuka. I had a bath in a hot spring before I took shelter at an inn. It was a filthy place with rough straw mats spread out on an earth floor. They had to prepare my bed by the dim light of the fire, for there was not even a lamp in the whole house. A storm came upon us towards midnight, and between the noise of the thunder and leaking rain and the raids of mosquitoes and fleas, I could not get a wink of sleep.

          O, full moon,  please, 
I'm taking a snapshot of you,
don't move!

Cloudy sky --
bewaring UV-radiation
under a big tree

Sunny day --
more than ten thousand leaves
sunbathing

I promised to write a 5-liner:


Fully-fledged
mosquito
pays her first visit
to me --
summer vacation!

drinking warm cup of coffee
in a café

warm summer day --
an old dandelion full of
white parachutes


(Inspired from Ralf's parachutes:

a long silence --
old stone had a story
to tell

This "stone" is made of steel concrete
