Looking for something more than a haiku, I stumbled upon the Japanese poetic form “tanka.” It’s similar to a haiku in that the number of lines and their syllables are precisely delineated. For additional information on tanka, please see this link.
Summertime Weather
Vivid cobalt skies
With angry clouds o’ertaking
Boom, thunder echoes
Jagged lightning flashes close
Rain waters cleanse Mother Earth
