I love how you got your point beautifully across using so few words. That's the mark of a great poet. Also, loved your artwork.

rotting meat tartare [great line]

Yuk yuk yuk. You've written a very good Zombie poem. I really like the artwork that you've chosen. I wish you lots of luck in the competition. Jen.

Well, this is a good way to go on a diet, read your poem!! Lol. If that doesn't stop us eating, then we are a lost cause. That is a brilliant picture of zombies to go with it, they do look a tad hungry! Well done and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

I think I'll pass on the steak tonight after reading your poem. Nice black and white picture to go along with your colorful Haiku. I wonder if there are any vegetarian zombies. I'll bet there is a poem there.

Wow, creepy. This little poem brings up all kinds of unpleasant images. I am not a fan of the zombie craze. I'm not sure why but they have never interested me and I do enjoy paranormal/supernatural movies with just about any sort of baddie, just not zombies. Still, I can recognize a good poem about them when I see one. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

    Little secret... I'm not a Zombie fan either... I just wanted to play around with a horror poem... It was fun... thanks for the five bloody stars.

Clever, imaginative, and "rotting meat tartare" is a killer phrase. Sprinkle a few maggots about, why don't ya. I used maggots to catch fish when young. We would go to the village butcher to buy them. He kept rotting meat tartare for that purpose. OH!. so sweet!..Great job!..

    Wow... thanks so much for your fun review... I was saving the maggots for desert... maggot mousse perhaps. I will have to shop at the village butcher.

Your poem, in true horror and fright tradition, carries an overdose of sensory repugnance - the smell and the taste are described to the point of inducing queasiness in this reader. Bloody good stuff! Clever and disgusting.

Haute cuisine, served with maggots on the side.

A truly disturbing poem. Perfect for the subject. It flows well. The last line is the worst, which makes it the best.

Thanks for sharing. Good read.
