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.
