Thinking about poetic horror makes me think of Pedro the Lion's Never Leave a Job Half Done.

A haiku for you, David Bazan:

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

Happy Thanksgiving
Why does turkey make you sleep
Its the Tryptophan

ChronoGrl 11-22-2007 01:48 PM

haha... Nice use of Tryptophan.



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


Gobbling in my pen.

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

fortunato 04-16-2008 06:48 PM

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

oh, wait...
nevermind.

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

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 )

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

Muhhh gahhh ughhh gruntttt guhhh

unhhh ughhh gahhh unhhh gohhh ughh ermmm

Guhhh bahhh ughhh guhhh Brains.

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

...

handcuffed to a dancing tumour
black blood
spiritual disease
sooths nothing
the real thing bites harder
are you her now
are you here now

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 04-19-2008 10:38 AM

neighborhood


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

a minor edit to fix an otherwise lovely expression of emotion!

See? That's what I thought.

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

Ode to being sick

hot feverish chills
body wracked with hacking cough
forcing out the phlegm

blaaaaaaaaaaargh

the smell of my stomach

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

Festered 10-20-2008 06:30 PM

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!

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

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

Oooo, I like it.

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

Despare 10-20-2008 06:47 PM

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

Marley's Ghost 10-20-2008 06:52 PM

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
