A collection of zombie-themed haiku:
Undead and Dentulous
…Could eat you right up,
Gram always used to tell them.
Tonight, she proved it.
Macabre Marathoners
Breathless, staggering,
Striving for the finish line
Of the human race.
Crimson Anniversary
Wrapping gets attacked,
Spouse’s pricey gift upheld:
Intestine necklace.
The Horror at Asbury Park
Deranged defender:
Sniper at a Zombie Walk.
Actors get head shots.
Handout
Rank clothes, rheumy gaze.
Mute, beseeching stumblebum.
Can you spare some parts?
Insomniacs
Late, neighborhood stroll;
He couldn’t catch any ZZZ’s.
The restless dead pounce.
With Apologies to Dante and Eliot
Wasteland taste-testers.
I had not thought undeath had
Redone so many.
Unfit Bit
Never enough steps.
Tracked down by a cadaver.
Measureless progress.
Shakespearean Tragedy
Merchants of menace.
All-too-pursuant Shylocks
Exact pounds of flesh.
Morning Death
Gross halitosis,
Like something died in his mouth.
His pecked bedmate does.
Unhealthy Skepticism
News reports dismissed:
Nothing but a can of bull.
Now: a cannibal.
Nights of the Walking Dead
Carnage as homage.
Romero-ghoul Easter eggs,
Nicotero-dyed.
