fissuring the sky
a thunderclap cracks the dawn
detonates birdsong

A wonderful Haiku.  
 
"fissuring the sky" is a wonderfully original opening and 
 
"detonates birdsong" is a classic ending. 
 
Loved it, Pamx

This made me laugh, the 3rd line especialy made the whole thing so comical for me, as if you are really angry at being woken up!

. . . Pam, Phil, Mia and Tim! 
 
It was a bit of a one-off - like a thunderclap. 
 
I am so glad you like it! 
 
Another? 
 
Maybe, when my muse's lightning strikes . . . 
 
Tim - I shall seek out your work . . . 
 
Beers!
