Horror Haiku Club Prompt
October 2 - The Mummy
An ancient Egyptian priest? A pharaoh? Either way, they’re mummified and long dead. Or are they?
Your prompt is THE MUMMY
A love turned to dust
Inside its leathern cavern
Stirs the bound body
Whether brought back to life to rekindle a love simmering for a few thousand years, or merely as a puppet for a villain in search of revenge, these reanimated dead are all wrapped up in intrigue and murder.
Ne'er die and e'er lie
Organs rest in jar 'side me
Disturb not my sleep
My death was my own
This new life, swathed and swaddled,
Is Universal
