Haiku Insanity

Haiku Insanity

Insanity builds

Within the mind weak with fear

Hear screams in the night

 

 

Visions in the mind

Run in helter skelter style

Explode the psyche

 

 

 

Voices in the brain

Whisper things you should not do

Filters brains to hands

 

 

 

Commitment is here

In rubber rooms screams are heard

In straightjacket style

 

 

 

New voices heard there

Doctor speaks in monotone

Nurses speak softly

 

 

New light filters in

The psyche rebuilds itself

Mind becomes clearer

 

 

 

On couches of brown

Mind finds a new perspective

Insanity gone

 

 

 

Return to the home

Center of life is restored

Now can smile again

Very nice. I liked the breakdown to build up theme here. It speaks of hope. Even when things are so bad, so out of normal, you can always get help and get back. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful stream of haiku. The opening haiku is like an appetizer, giving you a tasty tease of what's to come.

And fear and insanity are like tongues in mouths. One can't work without the other.

Good job!

Congratulations for winning Haiku #6 Contest!

Thank you, Nancy, for the book that arrived today. It is beautiful! I am thinking of contacting that publisher
and asking if they'd do a book of my haiku as well. What do you think? As long as they don't charge me to publish it because I couldn't afford it. That's why I went to lulu.com for my Family of Sicilians....

Great Haiku both in form and content~

THanks for sharing in the What's your Haiku contest~

This was a clear message, when we stuck in our past, our heavy thoughts are held in our chest and the only medicine is action - to deal with a problem. Loved your stream haiku.
