Vampire Haiku 4 U

vampire acolytes,

scholars of the undead damned—

here is your homework:

contribute your own

slices of sharp imagery

slivers of meaning

in three succinct lines

five—seven—five, short syllables

examples below:

vampire laundry tip

cold water eliminates

bloody napkin stains

Vlad served succulent

shish kebab hors d'oeuvres, portions

a bit too large though

tempting drop glitters,

drips, sweet red from the corner

of his bloody mouth

hot blood, cold blood, I

don't care just keep it coming

spurt by crimson spurt
