Haibun-Haiku: Raindrops on concrete

lightening and thunder

raindrops falling on concrete

a refreshing sound

It rained last night. I sat in the living room watching the lightening. It lit up the sky, like flash bulbs at a family reunion. The thunder rumbled rolled across the Las Vegas valley like ocean waves. I listened to the raindrops striking the cement, because it rains so little in this area, at first I did not recognize the sound. The raindrops falling on the cement of my driveway sounded like bacon frying in an iron skillet.
