Cave is the prompt for today’s Carpe Diem Haiku. I found this difficult so I started to look for woodblock prints. The I found the one below by Katsushika Hokusa. It depict the “mountain woman” (yamanba) devouring an infant. She might be lurking in a cave.

laughing in success
devours the newborn child

in darkness of her cave
she lured the pregnant woman

shivers down my backbone…..
Scarey….shades of Revelation chapter 12
Every woman’s worst nightmare!
Indeed, the woodblock print really scared me too
Awesome cascade Bjorn, but scary … thank you for sharing with us all.
Very horrifying. But very well-written.
