Sounds like the CDC is nearing a cure for the zombie apocalypse. Originally a cannibal cadaver was a ghoul. Gombies? Zhouls? I am not the authority on Haiku or five seven five. This seems fine to me.

This is a horror-able poem
I guess that's a good thing
for a 5-7-5 horror contest
Excellent horrific imagery
with good connection
Very good use of alliteration
Excellent presentation with art? work
and blood red font
Well done, or should I say "raw"
Good luck in the contest

Now let me see if I can guess who this writer might be. Nah, I will just keep the secret in my head, lest he/she suck the blood out of my weary body. Nice going. Patricia

very gross, mate. But it could be a summary of any zombie movie out there.

Very topical & current. I find it interesting that horror writing & movies are quite popular, yet killing people in real life is frowned upon.

    Thank you very much trumby, I appreciate your review and kind words. I think it is different in real life than in the movies, but I get what you're saying.

Ghouls gather around
Bodies freshly slain, sightless
Salt and pepper, please.

Somehow, Dean has to be involved. This is very well written. Good luck in your contest.

You have a great display of pictures here. Someone has been learning from Dean, me thinks :) Your syllables are all correct. You should do well in this contest. I'm thinking you'd be a strong contender.

Yuk! Nice alliteration for a soulless bag of bones. Gross, but that's the goal here. Great presentation with pictures and blood splattered. Awesome! Les

I like how you have paired your poems with bright, garish photos.
The first two lines really work for me. The words "putrid cadaver" are a perfect phrase for describing a zombie. It brings out ALL five senses. And "soulless" gives us still another anti-human trait. But your third line changes the TONE of your poem drastically from horror to parody. "Rare character" seems to suggest he's a character on a stage, not something gruesome climbing out of a grave.
