Me loves your haiku. But me thinks Regency gowns have more strrrrrretch.

Misty

of Book Rat

I have tried in vain;
This craving I can't refuse.
Now I want your brains

Halting and jerking,
I take my place by your side.
Your smooth flesh beckons.

The contrast excites
I moan as your red, red life
drips on my gray flesh.

Your scent fills the air
Bittersweet like rust and salt;
Rings my dinner bell.

Most votes were for:

Lexie

of Poisoned Rationality

In death, as in life,
His feelings towards me warm
and his lips were cool

My favorites:

Ryan

of Wordsmithonia

rotting, putrid flesh
flaking off in pale strips
what a tasty snack

Nicole

of Books and Bards

Hard-shell resistance
Then, pop! Strong, dead flesh extracts
Brains, like soft-boiled egg

Zombie Haiku vote

What does this bento box picture from Graasland have to do with zombie week?



Not much, other than I thought it would be a good way to segue into haiku because of that Japanese connection. Plus, this bento box looks really yummy and I gotta figure out how to make these for healthier lunches. Can't have brainssss all the time (ahem).


OK, back to business. I've received some awesome zombie haiku entries for the Zombie Haiku giveaway and wanted to put some of them to a vote.


Please read these fun creations and take the time to vote on your favorite one using the poll in the sidebar.


Happy haiku reading!

1

True Love (zombie style)

He shambles slowly

toward the newest food source.

She screams and she dies.

2

As in Life

In death, as in life,

His feelings towards me were warm

and his lips were cool

3

Always I crave you

Eternally in anguish

I devour my love

4

Are you ready for

the zombie apocalypse?

Please check yes or no.

5

A balletic lurch

Towards human flesh will quell

The hunger for brains.

6

Gen Y warns about

The zombie apocalypse

But no one listens.

7

rotting, putrid flesh

flaking off in pale strips

what a tasty snack

8

Warm brains mist rising

I sit and eat without joy

The worms ate my tongue

9

Hard-shell resistance

Then, pop! Strong, dead flesh extracts

Brains, like soft-boiled egg

10

I run away from

undead monsters intent on

eating brain. No thanks.

11

An undead person

shuffling around the house

make him go away

12

Slowly shambling

Zombie horde in the moonlight

Seeking human brains

These two entries exceed expectations by being more than one:

I have tried in vain;

This craving I can't refuse.

Now I want your brains

Halting and jerking,

I take my place by your side.

Your smooth flesh beckons.

The contrast excites

I moan as your red, red life

drips on my gray flesh.

Your scent fills the air

Bittersweet like rust and salt;

Rings my dinner bell.

--Misty

Zombies awake!

Let us go up, for fresh brains

and earth await!

Am I a zombie?

See my soul within! Awake!

And be a zombie no more.

--Heather
