Horror Haiku Club Prompt

[Daniel Baldwin]

Do you know penguins

can mimic voices? Waddle,

stare, whisper: “Help me.”

[Honeygloom]

Nope. Yikes. No taking 4 ft tall butlers with beaks. 🥶Well done🖤

[erniet]

Beware a penguin;

You may think you are faster

But the penguin slides...

[Honeygloom]

I can see it now, a plump little knife sliding at you on its belly. Well done 🖤

[erniet]

Thanks!😁

[ClownWorld Shakespeare]

Taking a cue from Caro Henry's post:

Batman’s teevee foe

Wizened old costumed crookster

Cackling ceaselessly

[Honeygloom]

Nice! I don’t really know the comics so I always picture and egg-looking Danny DeVito.

[ClownWorld Shakespeare]

I used to watch the tv show as a kid. Never got into comics other than Mad, etc.

[Caro Henry]

For those who like (or don’t like) DC Comics:

Gotham’s underworld

Echoes with his manic glee

His putrid cig smokes

[Honeygloom]

Haha! I wondered if anyone would go this route, well done🖤

[ClownWorld Shakespeare]

Pens, swords go to war.

Frigid soldiers, penguins are…

…mightier than fjords

[Honeygloom]

Ooo I like it! Masterful word play as usual🖤

[David Perlmutter]

I used to read pieces by an Argumentative Penguin on Medium. Very dangerous words.

[Honeygloom]

Everyone knows words are mightier than the pen -guin. 🫣

[Forkbeard Jon]

The guide said not to

worry. 'They eat fish.' But not

only fish, it seems.

[Honeygloom]

I love this, I can just picture a pack of man-eating penguins on the rampage.🖤
