| Zombie Haiku by Ryan Mecum |
What does a poet do when he turns into a zombie? He chronicles his descent into mindless flesh-eating hunger with a series of clever and funny (and sometimes disgusting) haiku. Talk about creative! This 139-page book is hilarious, and I loved it! Here are a few of my favorite zombie haiku:
My town is broken.
From this view, I see the end.
Below, they gather.
There's nothing quite like
the pain you feel while dying--
switching to hunger.
I keep saying "brains".
I remember other words,
but I just need one.
Happy Reading!
:) Fans of The Walking Dead (including me) should love this one!
ReplyDeleteIt's the world from the zombie's POV and it's great.
DeleteI love those haikus you shared! Especially the one about "brains" - LOL! Must be The Walking Dead fan in me :)
ReplyDeleteThere are some good haiku about his mom, too. But the brains one is a fav. Glad you enjoyed it.
DeleteThat's so funny! Who says poetry can't be fun?? :)
ReplyDeleteThis book definitely made me laugh. :)
DeleteThis is so funny!! I know someone I need to send the "Brains" haiku to. Kudos to the author for this clever idea. Thanks for posting.
