Cleaver, tourniquet,
syringe, scalpel, ice pick, awl...
Blood is hard to clean.




...

Your turn.

[missmacabre]

I'm far too lazy
to make this about horror.
Count my syllables!

[ChronoGrl]

hee hee... Nice one... :p


Looking at the moon
muscles tearing through my clothes
O, the night is young.

[Roderick Usher]

How else would a zombie express himself? I give you ZOMBIE HAIKUS

Slow, stiff and shuffling
Nothing works like it used to
My nose just fell off



Squinting in the sun
Moans and groans replace all words
Who was I before?



Sensations recede
Only hunger pains remain
Must eat brains…brains…brains



Wishing I could sleep
As the bullets rip my flesh
Never asked for this

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

Squinting in the sun
Moans and groans replace all words
Who was I before?


that's good.

[Roderick Usher]

that's good.

thank you

a compliment from MD...I'll savor this;)

[GorePhobia]

thank you

a compliment from MD...I'll savor this;)

Every compliment she ever gives I love cause they are few and far between.

[Despare]

Let's see if I can think of one... maybe I'm just too tired though.


Beating in my chest
My heart pounds relentlessly
Don't let him find me

[ChronoGrl]

Rod and Des... Those were awesome...


Clawing through the earth
hand over hand over hand -
Moon sees my rebirth.

[The_Raven]

Tapping on chamber door,
Seeming solemn and evil galore,
The Raven - "Nevermore"!


Edgar

[The STE]

Here's five syllables,
now here's seven syllables,
uh...something scary.

[Disease]

Eating brains and guts
Insides always fill me up
shot to the head, dead

[_____V_____]

Very interesting concept. I am sure one of our esteemed members can conjure up some really novel haikus.

Wherefore art thou, my dearest Marley?;)

[Marley's Ghost]

Wherefore art thou, my dearest Marley?;)

summoned from my slumber
on this blustery day
I'll give it a shot
though haikus aren't my forte

Lets do for werewolfs
what Rod did for the zombie
lets see if I understand
5,7,5 is the key





The Darkness is here
I feel myself change within
taste for blood wanting

In control no more
Ripping flesh with my new teeth
limbs scattered about

Screams shatter the night
the full moon lights the carnage
I feel so alive

Wake without a clue
What happened to my garments
I'm covered in blood

Will I sleep tonight
Will nightmares overtake me
I'm losing my mind

[novakru]

THANKS ALOT Marley, now who is going to try and follow that piece of excellence??:mad:


You, great poet, you:mad:







damn

[Disease]

I'll give it a go...

just give me a minute...

[Disease]

Vampires

Blood sucking leeches
drink all our virgins souls now
sleep for the nighttime

morning will pass them
in their own tombs they sleep now
the day will turn grey

night becomes again
another virgin weeps blood
taken to the night

Her mercy will arise
revenge she will seek on the
blood wrenched mortal being

[Roderick Usher]

I'm quite impressed with everyone's efforts. Lovely writing all!

[fortunato]

not having a head
makes it hard to drink coffee
or anything else.

[newb]

very talented
group of posters we have here
on this horror site

[Despare]

Something's wrong with me
It's cold and I cannot see
Somebody help me

A coat and glasses
What a novel idea
Get them to me now

[Disease]

Friday the 13th

Sex, blood, teenagers
gruesome mass killings at camp
mumy, mumy, day

[Despare]

Army of Darkness

This is my boomstick
Small, evil versions of me
Thank you for shopping


Alternate Ending

This is my boomstick
Small, evil versions of me
Woke up much too late

[Disease]

Saw

Written by a guy
used to do shity movie reviews
on morning T.V

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoONInQW3NQ

[Despare]

Saw IV

Jigsaw is dead now
Another wicked puzzle
Already started


---------------------------------


Something compels me
This feeling inside of me
There's no fighting it

[Disease]

An American Werewolf in London

Don't stick to the path
and you will be ripped apart
but left in torment

[Disease]

Is this a Haiku off?

[ChronoGrl]

No! Of COURSE not!

I like the movie themes...

Army of Darkness...

I gotta get home
I never really loved you...
Pillowtalk, baby.


Edit (Addition):

From Dusk Til Dawn...

A hole in my hand
sweet champagne vamp foot fetish
apple pie pussy.

[Phalanx]

Used to Be Cheeba
Now I am phalanx instead.
Need to scratch my balls.

[ChronoGrl]

Hostel

Tie him to the chair
Slit the Achilles tendon
And then watch him crawl...

[ChronoGrl]

Very interesting concept. I am sure one of our esteemed members can conjure up some really novel haikus.

Wherefore art thou, my dearest Marley?;)

Marley, your haikus are fantastic. :)

What about you, V?

...

What I most remember about the original Saw...

Gritty direction
Cary Elwes bad accent
Sawing off his foot

[Despare]

Just to keep the thread from disappearing...

Head spinning around
Christ’s power compels you
Projectile vomit

[ChronoGrl]

Good exorcist reference...


Tonguing my canines
relishing the taste of blood
snug in my coffin.

[Doc Faustus]

A second face smiles
Under your illgotten mask
Some just have a skull.

[Doc Faustus]

When the new kings come
There will be no need for "I"
One hungry self spits bones.

[ferretchucker]

one two three four five
one two three four five six se
ven one two three four.


At the midnight hour
from her cold sleep she awakes
Two feast on my blood

[ChronoGrl]

Friday afternoon
waiting to get out of work...
Now it's gin o'clock.

[Despare]

At the midnight hour
from her cold sleep she awakes
Two feast on my blood


I swear I thought the second line was going to break the rules and just say "she cried more, more, more".

[ChronoGrl]

Thinking about poetic horror makes me think of Pedro the Lion's Never Leave a Job Half Done (http://youtube.com/watch?v=9iDOcvA7aP4).

A haiku for you, David Bazan:

Blood stains on my hands
Quick, drag her to the kitchen
Hide the evidence.

[Marley's Ghost]

Happy Thanksgiving
Why does turkey make you sleep
Its the Tryptophan

[ChronoGrl]

haha... Nice use of Tryptophan.



Haiku for Thanksgiving... From the turkey's perspective.


Gobbling in my pen.
Here comes the Farmer Walace -
... ... ... ... ...

[ChronoGrl]

Chrono is real bored
Resurrects her second thread
PLEASE someone save me

[fortunato]

here's something to do
when you're really bored at home:
resurrect old posts.

oh, wait...
nevermind.

[Rayne]

I swear I thought the second line was going to break the rules and just say "she cried more, more, more".
HaHa, that was EXACTLY what popped into my head :)


While reading this thread
Newb's Zombie coat and glasses
Made me laugh out loud

:D

[Papillon Noir]

Running in the night
Knife in hand, he follows me
There is no escape

Ankle twists, falling down
Eyes wide, tears running down my cheeks
Helpless now, he's here

He whispers of death
Knife gleaming as it plunges
Hot breath on my face

Pain and he smiles
Blood cascades down, so cold now
Last breath leaving me

(not quite the same ones I wrote in grade school :p )

[Posher778]

Must have been the wind
A creaking floorboard perhaps
Surely nothing more

I like this one.

...

tossing and turning
a landscape of broken men
bearing down on me

sweat hits my forehead
all claws and teeth surround me
a rusty floorboard

remnants of harsh dreams
stumble numbly through my day
give me strength to sleep

these are some great haikus - someone should publish the amazing authors of HDC!

"Bedtime"

boxsprings and mattress
sturdy wooden frame surrounds
but what waits beneath

The Closet

Late night, hang my cloak
Stillness instantly broken
Was that breath I felt?



The End

Shot rings through the night
Blood splatters on the carpet
T'was too much to bear


Would love to hear what people thought. I don't write much.

[bloody_ribcut]

the crack flows like coke
poured into the noses
hope is a lost soap

[ferretchucker]

[bloody_ribcut]

i think boil is two and ing makes it three.

[ChronoGrl]

i think boil is two and ing makes it three.

See? That's what I thought.

But, according to dictionary.com we're wrong (and, yes, I had to look it up):

[fortunato]

Ev'rywhere ghouls are
Creeping through the foggy night.
Must be Hallowe'en.

[Festered]

Fish...and poetry, all in one night, wow!

You did love it so, you treated it like a son.
And it went... where-ever I... did go.
Is it in the cupboard? Wouldn't you like to know! It is a most elusive fish.
That went where-ever I did goooooooo.
Oh, fishy, fishy, fishy fish!
A fish, a fish, a fishy OOOOOOOOOOH!
Oh, fishy, fishy, fishy fish!
That went wherever I... did go!

http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk111/serenacce/SPEWTHIS.gif

Sorry, got a bit of a stomach virus.

[bloodrayne]

Knife gouges eyes deep
Flickering flame gives him life
Jack grins on my porch

[Despare]

Ghosts on my front porch
Goblins knocking at my door
Halloween is here

[fortunato]

Knife gouges eyes deep
Flickering flame gives him life
Jack grins on my porch

Oooo, I like it.

The autumn air chills
Makes my bones shake and shiver
Since I have no skin

[Despare]

The moon shines brightly
Something lurking in the dark
A trick or a treat?

[Marley's Ghost]

Darkness Clouds My Mind
My Hands Are Covered In Blood
What Have I Become

The Knife Has Fallen
Sheets Turning Crimson Color
My Wife Moves No More

A Last Kiss Goodby
A Taste Of Blood On Her Lips
Its What She Wanted

To See Me No More
Was Her Last And Final Wish
This I Have Granted

She Wants The Children
I Make My Way To Their Room
She Shall Have Them Too

[Doc Faustus]

Hooves inside his boots
The stranger seeks sanctuary
But turn him away.

He offers you gifts
Calls out in the voice of friends
Do not let him in.

His faint sulphur stench
Betrays his native region
His eyes are like swords.

He will keep knocking
You can just hope for daybreak
He could still be there.

[Leprucky Cougar]

Look at the Horror
Tries to Snear It's Ugly Head
So I'm off to bed

[fortunato]

In a dark graveyard,
Two shadows dance among stones;
Mists of former love.

[ChronoGrl]

Two shadows dance among stones;
Mists of former love.

Love the imagery :)

I would probably appreciate the imagery of this one more, if I could get past the thought of 'This would clog your toilet'...lol

Due to the crisp Autumn Air,
But I still love it!

Why thank you, Rayne. :D

*bump!* remember this
thread? let's get our creative
juices a-flowin

[ChronoGrl]

a mad buxom broad
fighting the tentacle beast
chronogrl reigns space

[Geoff the Troll]

I'm sick and tired
of trolls giving us headaches
I hope they leave soon

Trolls are so funny!
Trolls make boring website fun!
Let's all become trolls!

Chronogrl: very good haiku.

[ferretchucker]

The fur is growing,
Eyes turn yellow and bones break,
Another full moon.

[Marley's Ghost]

bumping this here thread
many posters with much talent
lets see many more

[Scarebaby]

How else would a zombie express himself? I give you ZOMBIE HAIKUS

Slow, stiff and shuffling
Nothing works like it used to
My nose just fell off



Squinting in the sun
Moans and groans replace all words
Who was I before?



Sensations recede
Only hunger pains remain
Must eat brains…brains…brains



Wishing I could sleep
As the bullets rip my flesh
Never asked for this

Oh wow, those are incredible. Mind if I snag 'em? For private use only of course.

[ferretchucker]

Thought Marley was gone,
How I missed his poetry,
Glad to see you back.

[Shannon Michaels]

Zombies don't eat clowns
You may wonder why this is
They just taste funny

[ChronoGrl]

ha - That made me giggle. Welcome to the forum.

[newb]

Bump for the Halloween season

At This Time Of Year

LET US BEAR WITNESS
TO WHAT THE NEW CROP OF PEEPS
CAN DO WITH HAIKUS

[Dead Bad Things]

This thread here's got some great ones on it!!...wrackin' my brain tryin' ta come up with a good one.......told my wife about this thread and she came up with a good one for me ::love::::love::
This one's by Ms. Dead Bad Things:

Zombie Messiah Haiku

Oh great shambling mound,
Composting as you eat us,
Bring us both to ground.

Flesh falls and rots here,
Trembling praises we sing you,
Will you eat quickly?

[Jake.Ashworth]

Im a cannibal
Spleens taste better with hot sauce
Always eat eyes first.

[Jake.Ashworth]

A mausoleum
All of the dead have risen
The tomb is empty


The darkness is deep
A shadow stands in the door
It has come for me


The flesh rips open
A gush of blood sprays skyward
I love this feeling


Gosh, I love this. Lets revive this thread.

[Jake.Ashworth]

I sharpened my blade
Her flesh looked delicious
Soon she would be mine


I smelled the crisp air
I felt wetness on my face
The blood was drying


Her moans where perfect
She was shockingly stunning
She took her last breath


Life is beautiful
The sun beat down through the trees
On my lifeless corpse

[Jake.Ashworth]

Just to be clear, none of these are meant to go together, that last group kind of worked that way, but I promise they are all independent. Im really enjoying this.

[Marley's Ghost]

EXCELLENT WORK
YOU ARE A WRITER FOR SURE
WHEN THE CLOCKS STRIKES NOON
I WILL ADD HAIKUS SOME MORE

[ChronoGrl]

Ah, old thread of mine
Brings me back fond memories
Happy to read more

[Jake.Ashworth]

EXCELLENT WORK
YOU ARE A WRITER FOR SURE
WHEN THE CLOCKS STRIKES NOON

Awww Shucks... Thanks.

I cut my lip bad
The blood tasted amazing
I've eaten my lip


The moon was very bright
It wrippled across the water
My last memory


Children played loudly
It lurked in the dark restroom
Jack really had to pee

[Marley's Ghost]

I'V TAKEN HER SOUL
GROWING SO STRONG INSIDE HER
PEA SOUP ANYONE

[Zero]

Pooh flung at the walls,
Angry monkey with red hair,
Horror champion!

[Jake.Ashworth]

Its really dark here
My screams are not loud enough
Ill lay here and rot


I ran far away
But Ill never get away
He knows where I am


Memories of youth
Happy thoughts flash through my mind
He tightens the rope


A pool forms below
My sneakers slip in the blood
Revenge is so sweet


The noise just wont stop
Why would this happen to me
Its all falling down.

[Roiffalo]

^ Great stuff, Jake!

-

Love haikus, ever read 'Werewolf Haikus'? Fun book. I haven't written any myself in a while, so have some oldies from High School:

Fangs tear flesh open
Watch blood flow like a river
Watch his life be drained

Don't try to taunt me
But if you want, go ahead
I like a blood bath

Blood on an old knife
That which penetrated you
Now I'll watch you die

Stab you to the ground
The heart is a man's treasure
What'll you do, you're dead?

Die internally
Maggots eating you alive
Death comes too slowly

-

All are separate.

[Jake.Ashworth]

Very nice. Im just starting to get into it. Its great for brainstorming ideas for stories. I love to write, unfortunately after finishing my first novel, I have lost the time to write. So haikus are an easy way for me to throw thoughts at paper without having to take the time to really sit and write.

[tfantasy]

The knife feels sexy
As it slices through her veins
I love you....now sleep

[Sculpt]

I'll try a horror haiku...

Her bread was pure white
His bread all dirty and hot
Her card NRA
