Carpe Diem, #17 thunderstorm


Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Another day in haiku paradise's Carpe Diem. Today we will write haiku on thunderstorm a kind of weather we see often in Autumn (and also in the other seasons). I wonder ... is there a deeper meaning for thunderstorm? I have sought the internet and came along the following deeper meaning.

This is what I found on: dream dictionary .

Anything that takes place on the ground in dreams deals with the facts and reality of your life. The sky links with ideas and the possibility of change. So the storms may link to a sense of uncertainty and turbulence in your mind. But often people get storm dream sand feel no stress or worries about the future. But really dreams can be related to specific issues and stress and uncertainty associated with one thing.

OK ... let's do some haiku composing.

inner mind storm
grabs me by the throat
a nightmare

a nightmare
struggling for life in a thunderstorm
no more balance

no more balance
dreaming of heavy rain and thunder
inner mind storm


This is something heh. I have had times in which I really felt what I just composed in this cascading haiku. That was a very nasty time in my life. I was depressed and suicidal ... had a Burn Out ... but I survived and became a better person with a stronger mind and body.

This prompt will stay on 'till October 18th 11.59 AM (CET). Our new prompt will be the 3rd Special with a haiku of Basho. I will give that haiku hereafter.

a butterfly flies
only in the field
of sunshine
