Down in the damp crypt
Rotten flesh resurrecting

Filled with black darkness

Haiku – 10/5/2019
A deserted road
Crawling with night’s thick darkness
Man walking alone
×
His coat held tightly
Bracing against the cold air
Teeth chattering loud
×
A soft sound nearby
Man pauses for a moment
Hurries towards home
×
In the dark bushes
Creature with crimson red eyes
Waits for its moment

Crawling out of the cold waves
Ready for revenge

Frozen in terror

Two red eyes watching
Deep within the night’s shadows
Deadly fangs exposed

Fear Filled Fridays (11/8/2018): 5 Deadly Senses
Sight:
Her common sense fails
She opens the old front door
Slips inside the house
Taste:
Mouth filled with dryness
Her throat turns to sandpaper
Saliva like dirt
Touch:
She feels the floor squish
Hands trace the soft rotten wall
Brush aside cobwebs
Smell:
Her nose sniffs and snorts
Filled with the dusty cold air
Rot, mold, and decay
Hear:
Behind her – footsteps
Creaking across the old floor
Swish of an ax blade
-
Haiku – Water Logged
The man stopped quickly
He stared at the severed hand
Resting on the log

Haiku – Sleeping Evil
A simple pay day
One job – lots and lots of cash
Two very rich men
+
An abandoned house
Nestled in a dark forest
Ancient and empty

A break of the lock
Time for their quick easy score
Something hidden stirs

Haiku – 3 Looks at Log
Hand-made log cabin
Sitting alone in the woods
Crafted by skilled hands
+
Sitting on a log
Inside a round stagnant pond
Frog waits for a meal
+
A hollowed out log
He crawled in among the slime
Hoping for safety
