Nude girl dragged to depths

Red waters, sound the alarm

Get a bigger boat!

Ha! Love this🖤

My spine snapped rigid

When something brushed my ankle.

There’s no time to scream.

This is why I don’t go in the water. So 😬 Well done🖤

An entire man

Just pieces in your mouth, but…

It’s only a snack

Honeygloom's avatar

Wild right? I love this! Horrifying, mind blowing, mildly enticing…🖤

Quinn told his war story

of sailors eaten one by one -

And the sea hushed in shame

Honeygloom's avatar

That story is so sad. Perfect for that moment in Jaws.

I once knew a shark…

…'round by Atlanta, Jaw-ja

His rates took a chunk!

A loan shark? 😂

Water shelters beasts

The Indianapolis

Source of one of the most iconic musical riffs in movie history.

Even people who haven’t seen the movie know the theme.

jaws sewed shut to stave

off weight gain but my mouth finds

its own flesh to gnaw

I like these horror haikus. It's a great exercise while temporarily I don't have time to write on a lot of larger projects.

So brutal, and really hits home🖤

I’m so glad! Adulting can be a time suck😂

I smell the fresh blood

Home in on the slim ankle

First bite the sweetest

Honeygloom's avatar

Love this! The mental image of such a delicate body part contrasted with huge shark jaws is powerful🖤

Rebecca Collins's avatar

Juggled by the waves

All those hours of shark week

Were no hope to me

Honeygloom's avatar

So nice! The surrender is so chilling here🖤

Music haunts heads spin

Huge dorsal fin cuts,, edits

Knife sharp teeth bite ,swallow swimmers

Holy moly, ships of state red blood wakes.

Honeygloom's avatar

Beautiful! Well done!

Shark fin cuts water

Summer beach turns blood-red

Screams pierce salty air

.

Teeth gleam in shadows

Primal fear grips swimmers' hearts

Nature's raw power

.

Torn flesh, broken bones

Man versus beast in deep blue

Who is predator?

I saw JAWS opening night. And, never ever wanted to swim in the ocean again.

Honeygloom's avatar

Love the last one the most, but all of these gave me chills.

I feel you on the ocean, it’s so big and we know so little about it… we’re just squishy Hot Pockets floating in there.

That haunting tuba,

Two notes, forever in mind,

Each time the sea calls... 😎

Honeygloom's avatar

Had to re-listen! I only remembered the cello at the beginning. But you’re spot on, so haunting🖤

Chris J. Franklin's avatar

It's one of the most iconic soundtracks, for sure. It's so simple, and yet so effective! 😎

Oversized shark aims

To capsize our vessel. Can

our captain save us?

Honeygloom's avatar

Nice!! I love a story in a haiku🖤
