Red masks and music
dance the dark streets, tempting smiles

This is the one I’m using instead of Photoshop for artwork, in case you’re curious: Painter 2016 PC Download [Download]

The Hagtree
Swaying on still nights
Driven by a soundless song
An oak claws the moon #haiku #horrorhaikuesday #poetry #poem— Ross Smeltzer (@RossTellsTales) February 23, 2016

From the mind of David Bradley Bailey, inspired by some real-life horror:
Dyatlov pass yawns,
eager to strip flesh in wet
lines, dry bones in snow. #horrorhaikuesday#haikuhttps://t.co/XgTUyz4AlB— David Bradley Bailey (@Dbfuturist42) February 23, 2016

And, last, but not least, here’s a Constantine inspired haiku from Haiku of Horror:
Flame kisses paper
He slowly inhales heat, smoke
Flicks away ashes#HorrorHaikuesday#horror#poetry#Constantinepic.twitter.com/G1PN8RUTBe— Haiku of Horror (@haikuofhorror) February 23, 2016
