Excellent

Not that I believe zombies exist but if they do, how do you kill a metaphor? If I could strike the possibility of their existence or potential existence from my mind, I suppose that would do it. But I have been too Hollywood brainwashed to believe they cannot or will not ever exist.

Deep.

Once a person rids himself of fear, the metaphor hopefully will disappear. They may very well exist for you if you have subconscious fears. Have you seen any of them lately, maybe in a bad dream? Thanks for the read and the interesting response.

A provocative poem. The proposition put forward is food for pondering. The flow is good. The picture fits well with the poem.

Thanks for a good read.

It's a good entry to the 5-7-5 Zombie contest. The syllable count is accurate. This visual fits better than the other one. I feel zombie with it. The text is large and easy to read. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks for the read and the review. I guess I was trying to say that zombies aren't real, however; they manifest themselves in our fears.

You are welcome. I was fine with that. Your interpretation was a good twist. I just didn't think the visual fit.

I will consider a different visual.
Thanks.
