Rapids Roar

river rapids roar like angry lions in summer suicidal thoughts

Suicidal thoughts are like lions, for sure. A poem that makes me aware.....

Amazing, this is a great haiku, somewhat difficult to grasp unless you recognize the mystifying disparity between the lion thunders, planning to kill, and the self-destructive musings.

Thanks so much for your thoughts, Lasaad. I woke up in the middle of the night thinking these lines. Truly mystifying to me!
