Horror Haiku

- Season 2

(2013)

It's on the news now. Do you think they will catch him? Did I lock the door?

Moldy flesh drops off The foul, fetid, reeking bones When the zombie wakes.

I can hear screaming And my footsteps in the woods. I am not alone.

Darkness surrounding, chanting voices everywhere. I am next to die.

A face of beauty. Behind it hides a monster. Fear her jagged smile.

He lurks in your phone, stalking girls who are too vain. Duck Face is fresh meat.

Message in the blood. My family lost for good. Confused murderer.

Staying up all night. Can't recall when last I slept. The clowns are watching.

Bright lights burn my eyes. The aliens have arrived, ready to abduct.

I tighten the string to achieve the perfect pitch. A trickle of red.
