2018 Horror Halloween Haiku Contest!
Welcome to our 2018 Horror Halloween Haiku Contest! I love writing contests, big and small, so we are doing a couple more. You guys are killing it on the other posts right now. We have 3 other major contests running right now, so this one isn’t going to be a monetary or promotional prize. It’s just for fun and bragging rights.
Haikus can be creepy, can’t they? So we all know you need 5,7,5 over a 3 line poem to have the structure of a Haiku, but they do not have to follow the traditional conventions (like image in line 2 and all that). Anyway, you will post your Haiku in the comments. Here are the rules.
- Poem must be 5,7,5
- Poem must be something scary, ghosts or zombies or something.
- Haiku must be great.
- Enter as many times as possible.
- Deadline is Oct 28.
- Put the Haiku in the comments below.
Make sure you at least include an email where we can get in touch with you.
I love zombie Haikus by the way. I mean is there anything better than a zombie Haiku? It’s like a zombie, eating a brain, in 3 lines….anyway leave us horror haikus, scary scary.
We will announce the winner on Halloween in a video movie chat. Details about the movie are to be announced. Gook luck, I hope you win, I really want to read a zombie haiku…but it you don’t right one it’s ok, I love horror haiku.

A plop, then slither.
The dark around my bed moves.
The next falls on me.
Close the lid, close it
tight. Ignore her if she screams
and fights. Going down…..
HA… ha… hungry me
I feed but one night alone.
KUmquat? Pumpkin? Brain!
(HA-I-KU Halloween) 🙂
Bloodthirsty, brain starved,
Mindless zombies lurk about.

A Grim Time

tiptoe round the bush,
I’ve got a really sharp knife,
And you have a heart.
I’m gonna kill you,
Yes, I really really am.
I’m gonna get you.
she double dipped flies
in a ramekin of blood
treats she didn’t share
he wasn’t nimble
enough to catch them alive
so he ate cold brains

Michael Meyers night
Butcher knife… fright…fight… flight
Run fast sweet angel
Ghost Hunter…believer
I watch you closely tonight.
Come… closer… BIG BITE!
It’s not Halloween,
yet some frightful things I’ve seen.
Tell me what they mean!
rain is falling endlessly outside
zombies eating my neighbor’s eyes
blood from faucets not surprised
darkness covers the broken bones
overfilled graves with no people at home.
blood is dripping off headstones.
The wet-beaked raven
Hammer-dug a socket deep
-To gooey weeping
A skeleton key
Twists into who knows or what
Unlock mystery
Zombies march slowly
No need to run or to hide
‘Cause Zombies are slow
Phantoms and goblins
And a witches’s brew conjured
To cast magic spells
Zombies trick or treat
On humanoid flesh with the
Flavor of children
Alien blood moon
Space invaders, body snatchers
Zombie delicacy
Squishy, bouncy ball
I see no more, sockets bare
A spurt in my mouth, EYES, YUM!
Ocher orbs observe
An Autumn Ave. animate
With witches watching.
between the pages
I locate the crushed beetle
the death haiku book
The little goblin
inspects his plunder -Stickers!
Time to play a Trick!
A gnarled, red-leafed oak,
Skeletal branches reaching-
A man hangs and bleeds.
Horripilation:
After the virus leeches–
Tell your loved ones bye.
– – – – – – – – –
“I’m not infected.”
Crimson floods her fogged iris.
My sister lied. Why?
– – – – – – – – –
Grab me the fresh brains,
Descend the concrete stairway,
Don’t touch anything!
after giving birth
heading for an exit ramp
a mutant zombie
the skeleton gave
me a hand, literally,
disappearing fast
I ate his brain, slurp
still waiting for any knowledge
he lied, there was none
Dull, dead eyes with rotting skin
Craving living flesh
The undead have rose
Horrific Discovery
Blood curdling loud screams
Slicing the evening’s silence
Only parts were found
At night the moon glows
zombies, ghost prowl through the street
be on the lookout
We all took a vote,
and at the end of the night
Trump was president.
suck the narrow clean
brains of human mind mess
new taste sensation
Alright you asked for it….
Bitten, I can’t run
life escapes. I lie and die
But, waken … hungry
