I live in Las Cruces, NM and sometimes during monsoon season, a violent storm can come up in mere minutes and drop buckets of water rapidly, and then a few minutes later the sun can be shining ans a bright rainbow will appear in the sky.

    Thanks for resonating with the message of the poem. Sorry if I replied quite late and yes we both have tasted how nature play tricks on people's lives. Thanks for the five stars too.

A nicely composed short verse format poetry . Written in such a nice way that although short, I can visualize the storm scene while reading it. The picture also compliments the writing.

Like your use of drums roll, drums as thunder or- for me, anyway- calling to mind galley slaves rowing to the beat of the galley master's drum and simply " a drum roll, please" as the boat tries to survive the next wave.

Susan; you may have not been thinking of a haiku however this would be a perfect one. You're first two lines are very descriptive and demonstratively expressive in your third line or satori sums up your other lines so well. Whatever your intentions were in writing this piece of poetry he sure sounds like a great and fantastic haiku.
Thank you so much for sharing and posting and may the good Lord be with you always.

This sounds frightening and not something I'd want to be on. Actually it sounds like a scene out of a movie or something like being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Great job friend

You described the impending doom of a storm well. The alliteration is good. You stated a great deal in a short space. This reminds me of the typhoon that hit the Philippines. Good job and thanks for sharing.

    Thanks a lot for the warm review. You guessed it right, I am from the Philippines, but I am working now here in Oman as a college lecturer for Omani students. I do appreciate your positive comments. God bless you. Susan

You've created the feeling of doom by your thoughtful choice of words in this well written haiku, Nassus.

Your use of alliteration with storm signals, and drop, drenched and drums adds a great flow to your poem. I like your satori -- it's a perfect follow-up to the foregoing lines.

Well done, my friend! Thank you for sharing. Alana

Haiku or not it is well written. I can't imagine being in a typhoon or a tsunami. I pray for those who are living it.
