 Author's Note: I wanted to give haikus a try, so this particular poem is made up of a bunch of them (which is why it doesn't rhyme and why there is some weird spacing). I feel like you already know this, but just in case, haikus are short poems that use a 5-7-5 meter (5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables). They're usually stand-alone, but I've linked a whole bunch together into an almost-story here. As always, enjoy!
 
 A Showcase of Thunder
 So it begins now
 Take your places, everyone
 Curtain going up.
 
 The wind, it swirls as
 Droplets fall from the heavens
 Before this, silence.
 
 A thunderous crash sounds
 From high above, and with it
 Comes sheets of fire
 
 Fire in the sky
 Bright, jagged reminders of
 Nature's true power
 
 A downpour cometh
 Rounded raindrops soak the earth
 The sky is a stone
 
 A gray stone above
 Not calm, but patterned- flecked with
 Light, also shadow
 
 Shadow casts over
 Earth, cut by the powerful
 Wonderous sounds and sights
 
 A silent rumble
 In the Earth announces that
 It's nearly over
 
 Sky clears, rain stops, end.
 Curtain down again. Good job.
 Good show, everyone.
