Hello hello my loverly fiends, welcome to this week’s installment of

Horror Haikuesday

Our Horror Made resident poet, Patrick Rahall is kicking things off:

Refusal

I release my blood.

They scream, curse and pound the door.

Won’t let them turn me.

And now from the land of hashtagging:

People are puzzles:
Flimsily held together;
Torn apart with ease.

Final fleck of flesh
Skull plucked clean.
Carrion crows fly.

Piano keys fall
Hammered strings throb in anguish
Their screams make music

is this real life now
or is this just a nightmare
from which i can’t wake

Beyond the threshold
Lies a darkened, endless suite.

Springtime affirms life
Disease also is revived
Death still close behind
