2022 Horror Haiku for the Promo Contest

January 21, 2022 by admin 14 Comments

Welcome to our 2022 Horror Haiku for the Promo Contest! I love writing contests, big and small, so we are doing a couple more. These are always so fun to read, and we do read every single entry!

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 May 1st 2022.
-Put the Haiku in the comments below.
-Include a title!

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 in May. Good luck, I hope you win, I really want to read a zombie haiku…but it you don’t write one it’s ok, I love horror haiku.

    hungry risen dead
    looking for empty eyes
    living human flesh

    lonely ghost girl
    lives in an empty house
    waiting for a friend

    the circus has arrived
    killer clowns laughing
    waiting for visitors

      unfortunately
      your syllable count is wrong
      a ghastly error

    The zombies are here

    The zombies are here
    The zombies are everywhere
    Zombies eating me

    The animals revolt

    When Gaia woke up
    The animals all revolted
    Killing all humans

    The shrimp eat Sam

    When Sam started dinner
    The shrimp stood up attacked him
    Eating Sam alive
    The shark attack

    The sharks looked at me
    Hatred in their bloody eyes
    The sharks attack me

    Robots take over

    Robots take over
    Turning us into slaves
    Apocalypse now

    Pretty ones so soft.
    Prettier on the inside.
    Soft insides turned out.

    Mourners view the corpse,
    each afraid to say he saw
    its glossed lips murmur.

    Ancient witch, that tree.
    Her vines ensnare, her stick carves
    initials in you.

    Insects. Relentless.
    Biting. Burrowing. I’m safe
    encased in cement.
