#6




thunder
the swollen river cascades
into the gorge

Blackwater Falls State Park

My 1st original haiku; be kind. To my novice understanding I think this is a "Comparison" - the fragment portion of the haiku, thunder, is compared to the phrase portion (the 2nd & 3rd lines) - but what do I know. Also tried a play on words with the double meaning of "cascades" (n. & v.). Traditional haiku have a season word; my haiku originally read "swift river" but I changed swift to swollen to suggest spring.
