Hello Friends and welcome back to another cozy Horror Haikuesday. For today’s inspiration we are locked in a room with no way out except for the hints given to us by today’s guest poets, the creators of the Texas Podcast Massacre, Mitch, Nate, and Lisa!

Texas Podcast Massacre is a weekly show where the hosts, Mitch, Nate, and Lisa talk about horror movies, tv shows, video games, and discuss the many layers of the genre. It’s a lively, horror-tastic way to enjoy geeking out with some incredible people. I recommend checking out their podcast, which you can find on Apple Podcasts, Android, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn and anywhere else you find podcasts.

To Inspire You:

For today’s haikuesday I wanted to highlight one of their favorite episodes, the one all about Saw,

Uncaring doctors. Elaborate traps. So many keys. The movie that launched 1000 escape rooms. Join the TPM crew as they pitch their escape scenarios for the next Jigsaw movie and discuss the twists, turns and influence of James Wan’s 2004 classic ‘Saw’. (texaspodcastmassacre.com/reviews/saw)

Here is some original Saw themed artwork I made to pair with poetry created by our friends from the Texas Podcast Massacre:

@SawMovie a haiku:
Please follow the rules
I James Wan (@creepypuppet) to play a game
Always check for a pulse

(Also, I just have to say, I love the punny play on words here XD ).

Created By You:

Last week we had some incredible artwork shared with us created by Selkie. Here are the poems that were born from it:

Their ribs xylophone
Paper-maiche wings soggy

Unable to fly,
Will I save or destroy you,
Only time will tell.#HorrorHaikuesday https://t.co/aLfqrkZjpD

Sundered from Heaven,
Angel laments ruined wing,
And corrupted grace.#HorrorHaikuesday #haiku #poetry #amwriting pic.twitter.com/JgLskrsVNC

Too close to the Sun
He flew; His wax wings were fused;
The sky’s his home now.#HorrorHaikuesday pic.twitter.com/IlGUPLcqV7

The world stripped her wings,
But night would bring her new ones:
Leathery, with claws.#HorrorHaikuesday #Still_I_Rise

Fallen. Broken wings
An angel lost. Monster born
Branded. Marked for Hell #HorrorHaikuesday pic.twitter.com/17iMb1zUfo

wounded and wailing
angels tumble from sky as
demons have their day#horrorhaikuesday pic.twitter.com/6xzI0Mde9D

Glorious plumage
lost for naught when my wings beat
against the cage bars.#HorrorHaikuesday pic.twitter.com/R3YTTFLU0x
