HOUSE OF HAIKU PROMPT: LIGHTNING
Welcome to the ‘House of Haiku’, where the challenge is to create something inspired by the Prompt below using only 17 syllables, laid out in three lines, containing five, seven, and five syllables respectively.
Let’s have some fun writing together!
On this day, in 1847, the earliest known image of lightning was captured, by photographer Thomas Martin Easterly, in St. Louis, Missouri, using one of the first widely available photographic processes, known as ‘daguerreotype’.
And so, our Prompt for this week is: LIGHTNING
Electricity,
Streaking through the sky, just hope,
You’re not beneath it…
My new book ‘50/50’, featuring fifty stories, all of which are exactly fifty words, is available now on Amazon Kindle and Kindle Unlimited.

fire flies blinking calls a mate
It is a hot date.
