Thunder claps. So do I.
Rain falls. I don't. Farewell to

Sit up. Stand uP. ST@ND UP!

Alex (my son) asked me if this exercise poem is a haiku.
I suppose it is, as close as need be. Modern haikai no longer need conform to the 'classical' (16th cent.) 5-7-5 syllable model & can even be written in English in a single sinuous (no pun intended) line.
