Horror Haikuesday: That Old Devil’s Smile

Happy Horror Haikuesday everyone!

So, I have made a really bad habit of staying up reeeally late on Monday nights to finish the artwork for the Horror Haikuesday posts. Which mostly has to do with ending up on YouTube to check for something very specific and then losing myself in a vortex of amusements for a few hours…

But I was productive during my visit this time! I finally got my screen capture software to work so I made a speed paint video of the first haiku of the day, which is from A.F. Stewart. 🙂

 

That old devil’s smile
reflection in your mirror
blood drops on the glass

Next up, is a poem inspired by the movie Let Us Pray  from Haiku of Horror.

Sins are like maggots
Feasting in our carcasses.
In time, we’re eaten.#HorrorHaikuesday #LetUsPrey #haiku pic.twitter.com/GMuacoKhGs

And I’m a sucker for insanity because that means drawing straight jackets, so here’s one from Anthony Etherin:

The Madness (#Haiku, anagrammed lines):

Many gaunt daemons…
“Undo me, mangy Satan!” –
A young man sent mad.

And last but not least, the poem that gave me the best shudder of terror for the week:

#HorrorHaikuesday#haiku

Mold overtaken.
Creeping blanket of green fuzz
that once was an eye.
