Another round of Horror Haikuesday has dawned, so let’s jump right in with this poem from our featured poet of the month, Nano Horror

Sunlit Shadows

Shadows in the sun:
Elongated limbs grasping–
Forms darker than night

~Nano Horror (@tweetsthecreeps)

And here’s how it was made:

I don’t know about you, but I adore the Horror movie inspired pieces that Haiku of Horror comes out with every week.

Insatiable tick
Feed until you burst with blood
Hunger unto death

This infection from Anthony’s brain is one I’d like to avoid…

Eyes (#Haiku, anagrammed lines)

It scrapes you, while reined.
Rich, wide alien eyes sprout
where its nails pierced you. #Horrorhaikuesday

I loved the movie used as inspiration, it was so funny!

The sweet smell of blood
Wakes the hunger that drives me

So many weird images went through my head when I read this poem, but here’s the one I went with:

Crunching teeth—feasting
grinding bone, tearing the flesh
while their meals yet scream #HorrorHaikuesday
