I think this is a terrific haiku and written in the traditional form. Your satori line is both witty and profound.

I wish you great good luck with the Contest Committee and many thanks for sharing. :)

Excellent! The Nature effect in this Haiku is positive and eternally appreciable, as all fierce thunderstorms are not so disastrous; they bring in something good; well said, well done.

A fantastic Haiku. I loved your use of aggressive word choices like 'pulverising' and 'groundbreaking' to encapsulate the destructive nature of thunderstorms. I really enjoyed reading.

Excellent Haiku. I love the picture you paint with the words. Great connection with the "fierce" "pulverizing" and "groundbreaking" words used in each line. Hugh

"Haiku ( a fierce thunderstorm coming through), is short, succinct and very much to the point. It was a pleasure to both read and review this talented poet's work. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Very clever poem! Haiku poems are difficult; you have to fit an idea into 17 syllables. You've done this nicely! Some haiku poems seem forced or contrived, but yours flows naturally. When I write haiku from now on, I will strive to be clever like you. A very memorable poem.

Hail can certainly do a lot of damage. We had such a storm and it ruined our roof. In fact the whole neighborhood had to replace their roofs.
I enjoyed your well written haiku. Nice satori.

Blessings
Janet

Hello my friend

Awesome haiku. A very good 5/7/3 syllables count. Winter kigo. Good cutting juxtaposition. Pretty presentation. Good luck in the contest.

Well done.
