Cold moonlight drenched night
Machine specter chugging fast
Empty rails rattle

Haiku – The Severed Hand
Crawling towards me
Dead rotten moldy fingers
Scratching up the floor
+
One of the best scenes in all of horror for severed hands. Watch and enjoy.

Haiku – Stranded in the Rain
Long black empty road
Out of gas, alone, tired, cold
Branch snaps in the dark

Haiku – Creaky Floorboards
Darkness clear and black
Ghostly footsteps in the hall
Wide awake in bed

Haiku – Mr. Skeleton and Green Tears
Mr. Skeleton:
White flesh free fingers
Tearing through the soft brown dirt
Time for its revenge
Green Tears:
Mother Nature’s Bones
Exposed, beaten, and broken
by man’s pollution

Haiku – Cool Start
Christmas in July?
Soft breeze, a nip in the air
Nice break from summer
•
I can’t believe how nice it has been outside today. The weather is still warm, but the humidity has gone away. Couldn’t believe it when my son and I sat out on the deck this morning – he in his high chair, me just enjoying it. It made me think about the upcoming holiday season, which I hope to jump-start next week. My short story “A Zombie Christmas” will be running free for the next couple of Fridays on Kindle. Grab a copy to put you in the holiday mood. I also plan to have that story available elsewhere later on in the year. Okay, here’s a little Christmas music to set the mood. I hope you all had a great Fourth of July – thanks for reading and following.

99 cents regular price – free the next two Fridays.
Review:
“Not often do you run across a zombie story with a message. Don’t give up hope. A lesson to be learned & applied in any circumstances. Well written & entertaining.”

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.

Poem – Mr. Jack
From midnight to midnight
On October 31st
He has a hunger
A blood lust
A thirst
For those who trick and treat
To him
That is the best
The tastiest of meat

One of my favorite Halloween songs, always gets me in the mood:
-
Haiku – Incense
The man screamed in pain
Transformation burned and raged
In the full moon light
§
The girl inhaled deep
Exhaled with cannabis bliss
Incense burning sweet
§
Smell of rose aroma
Fills the small and tiny room
Vampire waits for dark
§

Haiku – Hunter
Zombie corpse seeks flesh
Human prey for blood desires
Won’t stop till it feeds
§
Trigger finger, poised
Primal instincts, steady hands
Hunter takes his shot
§
The cat sits silent
Eyes, like a clock, ticking slow
Watching and waiting
§
A song by Dokken
With metal beats and rhythms
Awesome rocking tune
