For Crazy Haikus to Cure Writer's Block, please see my post below.
Meanwhile, I'm bringing forward part of my previous post, this time adding two more crazy haiku. Chris Crowe's blog post introduced me to zombie haiku. http://throwingupwords.wordpress.com/2011/09/07/you-want-haiku-i%E2%80%99ll-give-you-haiku/
This is a great way to practice concise word choice and get the creative life-blood flowing (hee.) I had no idea how therapeutic and addictive these can be. When I wrote these, my mind got going, and the patterns wouldn't stop running through my head.
Since I've wasted valuable writing time on these, I'm going to torture you with the results. After you groan over mine, I challenge you to write some better ones.
Paranormal: (vampires, ghosts, werewolves, goblins, fairies, angels, zombies, etc.), haiku: five syllable first line, seven syllable second line, five again for the third. It can be gory, but please keep it clean. Have fun!
Werewolf forest sign:
Stop in woods on snowy night
Strongly encouraged.
Feathered fall from bliss
Caught by sparking hands at dawn
Vampire eats angel
(My apologies to Jane Austen fans:)
Darcy proclaims love
Vampire Lizzy spurns his plea
The Prey is Pre-juiced
Universal truth
Lone man possessing fortune
But lacks possessed bride
Love binds groom in sleep
Red hourglass weaves night’s web
Widow’s prey at dawn
Computer screen breaks
Tech blames virus, but I know
It’s pixielated
[bad pun, sorry.]
Zombie seeks his prey
Stumbles on ribs now picked clean
Werewolves ate heart’s dream
Green breaks through cold earth
Rebirth reaching toward the sky
Dead hands grab my feet
Lady Finger Cake
Wellington, once Duke, now pie
Zombie peasants feast
[does anyone get this last one? Just curious.]
