Zombies Revisited (2012 Style)

It's official. The SFJHS annual zombie haiku contest is back and the hordes are picking up steam (and discarded organs).  Here are my contributions as I wrote examples for my classes this year:




first period class—
perfect imitation of
mindless zombie horde

counting on fingers
reminds zombie children not
to play with their food

splitting up with your
zombie girlfriend gives a new
meaning to heartbreak

don’t mistake zombies
for wand’ring teenage trick-or-
treaters at your door

fast food zombies love
finding the surprise inside
happy meals for lunch!

some uncouth zombies
pick their teeth with fingernails
still attached to hands

civilized zombies
remember when slurping to
extend their pinkies

defense weapons? ha!
think your guns will save you from
the apocalypse?

“you think you’re scared now?”
grunted zombie at the door
“wait till I get in”

Louisville Slugger
by the nightstand for robbers?
nope. zombie attack

zombies smell the fear
and can’t wait to taste the sweat
running down your neck

writing more zombie
haiku leaves my brains empty;
at least I’m safe now

kidney. liver. spleen.
anatomy lesson? nope
zombie lunch buffet

LMFAO—
(ev’ry day I’m shuf-fl-in’)
zombies in disguise

endless hours of
console preparation just
creates more zombies

vacant expressions
while mindlessly texting help
blend with zombies

These last two came after the zombies had already relieved me of my brains.  Moan.

I think I'll post a little writing every so often...some polished...some rough. And I welcome any comments or criticisms or cupcakes you care to throw my way.
