Zombie plague broke out
Living ghosts all around me
I’ll teach them they’re dead

#HaikuHorrorPrompt Living ghosts #HaikuHorror

Their necks call to me
Asking for my fingers’ hug
Can’t act on impulse

#HaikuHorrorPrompt Impulse #HaikuHorror

Santa ploughs through crowd
People's bodies everywhere
Wrong kind of slay ride

#HaikuHorrorPrompt Sleigh Ride #HaikuHorror

(No I didn't forget to switch accounts, this one felt more like a joke than genuine horror, in fact I think it could double up for the previous prompt "Punch line" as well)

Iron Maiden closed
Punctures cover my body
Slow way to lose blood

#HaikuHorrorPrompt Blood Puncture #HaikuHorror

Missed a day so a 2-fer.

I bear down on them
I see distress in their eyes
It won’t last that long

#HaikuHorrorPrompt Distraught #HaikuHorror

I pleasure for God
They assume it’s their God too
If only they knew

#HaikuHorrorPrompt Hierodule #HaikuHorror

Eyes watch me at work
Skin and muscle peeled right back
Why does he still grin

#HaikuHorrorPrompt Grinning #HaikuHorror

Blade slices through them
Don't know they're already dead
Eyes asking me why

#HaikuHorrorPrompt Blade #HaikuHorror

Since we let them roam
Mealtimes have been much more fun
I hear their screams start

#HaikuHorrorPrompt Predation #HaikuHorror

Kids scream at each turn
This is the ride of their lives
Hope I tied them tight

#HaikuHorror

A roar fills the cave
A bear sprints past, does not stop
This cannot be good

#HaikuHorrorPrompt Cave #HaikuHorror

Chickens watch me squirm
No bones to hold up my frame
“See how you like it”

#HaikuHorrorPrompt Boneless #HaikuHorror

Revenge will be sweet
I hold the doll in my hands
Where should I pin first?

#HaikuHorrorPrompt Voodoo #HaikuHorror

I wade through bodies
A red wake marks my progress
Won’t be hard to find

#HaikuHorrorPrompt redwake #HaikuHorror

I kill yet again
But the thrill does not return
Fear it never will

#HaikuHorror

The darkness descends
Like a literal black plague
May I live till dawn

#HaikuHorrorPrompt Black plague #HaikuHorror #Writing #WritingCommunity

They plead with their eyes
Be thankful for small mercies
I allow them death

#HaikuHorrorPrompt Mercies #HaikuHorror

My fangs at their neck
Flesh pressed in but not yet pierced
I feel the scream build

#HaikuHorrorPrompt fang #HaikuHorror

Cannot hide the mange
My flesh literally crawls
The disease fills me

#HaikuHorrorPrompt Mangy #HaikuHorror

Planarian scourge
Horrors eating her wee foot
Pet snail escapes them

Mirrors are portals,
You know. Scry and shriek. Don't fall
To terror you seek!

Five Syllables only.
Six craniums judge the poet.
Seven deadly sins.

gently leans in and whispers
stories in my ear

I can't find the actual prompt for this one, but I found it in my notes, undated, so here it is.

Enjoy.

Word for October 18, 2025: #BEAK

tucked deep within the
plague doctor's beak lies the
death softly waiting

red-eyed sun—
mouldering bones
scoured in dry wind

Thunder colors clouds
Rain reflects the moody skies
Crows! glide, autumn falls

#Prompt no. 1474: #killerblow

#ARW-RAW #Poetry #Art

Blood Harvest •

The field drinks the musk
scarecrow eyes glow; icy blue
A #killer-blow drums—
in the reaper’s lullaby
rusted sickle, crimson grin.

Would a filled eyeglass /
prescription have saved me years /
of marital strife?

Sunny and cloudless day at the beach. There are no people seen. A small outcropping of rocks jut into the water. The water is a blue-green with multiple waves hitting the beach. In the midground is an old fishing boat floundering.

Serene, sun-filled beach,
Beauty hides a fatal kiss,
Ocean claims its own.

badly my brain hurts
social media heaven
of course it is real
