A couple of #horrorku from Horror Senryu Journal edited by Thomas Tilton:

yellow clouds
swirls grow darker
in the catheter

quiet prayers
a room full of shadows
that look like wings

Left side, a sharp strike,
Lead, and iron, to the face,
Stumbling, passage paid.

Only a man with the grudge,

I've even written horrorku (horror-themed haiku), and still write them on occasion. Here are two recent examples:

wrapped cumberbund / exposed intestines bound /
zombie prom

alone in the dark / a voice not my own / sobs softly

Camouflage, a rusted axe,
'til blood upon flannel.

Along with longer form poems, I've also written a few horrorku this year. Here are three. No images, I'm, afraid.

wrapped cumberbund / exposed intestines bound / zombie prom

alone in the dark / a voice not my own / sobs softly

dark coils / churn brine into foam / leviathan arisen

deathly tone
whistles through a gale
the grim reaper.
