Entry #1

Werewolves howl tonight
Vampires flit about freely
Zombies stagger on

Mean death in the night,
Steal a soul to pay a debt,
Lurk until the next.


Harvest moon is full,
Reveals a sharp glinting blade,
Until second thrust.


Roots break the surface,
Pull a screaming boy below,
Sustenance once more.

Necrophilia
Victimless crime or horror?
Only corpse can say

Entry #3

Blood, guts, gore of war
Is any made up terror
Really worse than this?

rekindled fire
sparking flame and desire
hell's fleshless choir

Fresh corpses shambling.
Dawdle and you’ll be a feast:
human recycled.

smelling of the grave,
I rise to my feet and take
a tentative step.

Everlasting Fright
Spirits, wander tonight,
Fright off or take flight.

Red moon blacken cat
sitting on the gravestone's edge
Eating dead men's bones.

No glory but guts.
Blood drips and Wendel sips.
Oh, oh, oh Tasty.

ATTEMPT #2:

With the knife he used
to make jack-o-lanterns smile,
he removed my tongue

Here are mine.


# 1 of 3

Corner of my eye
catches the ghoulish demons.
Why can you not see?

# 2 of 3

Jagged teeth bite down.
Carotid pulse weakens fast,
life dwells here no more.

# 3 of 3

Shrill voices echo,
reverbrate within my mind.
The knife quiets them.

ghouls breaking new ground
cemetery smorgasbord
gorging until dawn

Blood Tastes Very Sweet
A Victim I Killed Tonight
It Drips From My Fangs

I saw an announcement about this contest posted in a LJ entry by stonetable (Adam Israel), and I just had to sign up here and enter. Horrorku are one of my favorite forms of poem.

Anyway, here are my entries:

Entry #1

black leathery wings
darken a pale harvest moon
undead hunting blood

Entry #2

parting red curtains
black talons amidst moonbeams
fledgling beast back home

Entry #3

glimmering embers
within writhing midnight murk
a dark lord invoked

ATTEMPT #3

Pills in plastic wrap
Razorblades in candy bars
Son, put on your mask.

Here are my three:

#1
Lovely moonlit night
Imparts a piercing white glow
To nondescript fangs.


#2
Fall meadow at night
Pure canvas on which to paint
Horrifying scenes


#3
Fermented serum
Preferred beverage selection
Serve with flesh tartare
