Rage can end in some bad results for humans as can jealousy, covetousness, bitterness, etc. Thanks for sharing this one. Good comparison to human's anger and a hurricane. Thanks for sharing. Sara K

Flame on a fire, only makes higher. Thank you for a needed soul searching reminder. Will there ever be great peace in this troubled world?

Life can be quite foreboding if we do uphold truth. Excellent haiku.

Quite forboding but so true Anne Lise, hope the storm has passed you now. My cousin in Ireland has been without power for two days now. Tom

- There are many without power here too ... we got it back fortunately ... a lot of destruction along the coast ... houses, boathouses, docks and boats - The worst is over now, although it will be quite windy in the coming week :) - hugs

And often ends with someone(s) dead. It's growing, pervasive, especially among the youth. So many fingers of blame but violent video games play a part. If we are what we eat, are we not also what we feed our minds?

In your vivid and compelling descriptions, Anne-Lise, you have captured the essence of the most intense stage of the all-pervasive vice—rage. It's just wonderful imagery.
