If you like you can check out Poetry Train being run each Monday. It has no prompt as such but poetry is encouraged, haiku included. Do check it out. This would give you wider audience. There are others too. You can explore from my blogroll.
As to the usefulness of our brain or reasoning power, the last part of a saying attributed to Mohammed could be of some help: Trust in God, but tie your camel first.

trapped out
in the wet-
out of my brain

Brain storm
whipping the waxing moon –
a wintry wind
gautami tripathy – Thanks for the invite! I will check it out. It would be good to break out of my brain, if only on a Monday!
Tikkis – Nice one! Reads equally well as haiku or a neurological complaint! Hard to achieve that mental feat.
I am who I am:

It is still a trap.
Is the brain a trap – or an unopened gift? I hope – the latter.

Or – Trust your brain, but tie yourself to God first.
dark as the sky is
you can always fill
the air with sower
