Haiku – The Abandoned Graveyard Redux

I had a couple of interesting comments about this particular Haiku that I wrote earlier in the week:

The cold grey headstones

Fresh light of dawn breaks on them

One grave is empty

When I wrote it my thinking was that a zombie had crawled up out of the Earth in order to do his zombie thing.  

After I posted it I received this comment from: http://readinpleasure.wordpress.com/

The comment: I’m reading this as the empty tomb of Jesus. Anyhow, it is powerful

That’s an interesting take on it, so I thought I would write a new Haiku based off of that comment.  

Buried for three days

The empty tomb of Jesus

Faith inspiration

See how the title “The Abandoned Graveyard” takes on a whole new meaning with that Haiku.

I then received this comment from: http://planetcyberluz.com/

This was the comment: Looks like the grave robbers have been

I also decided to write a Haiku based off of that one.

Grave robbers bitten

Torn open and ripped apart

Zombie plague begins

Again, the title “The Abandoned Graveyard” takes on a whole new meaning.  It is a little closer to the zombie subject matter I was going for originally, but it is just slightly different.
