Horror Haiku Club Prompt

[A.P. Murphy]

Inanna slew Bilulu

for the slaughter of her husband -

The seasons turn in blood

I forgot there was another Inanna/Dumuzi story. Inanna definitely comes out better in this one.

[Jessamine Halverson]

Fall to the underworld,

here you remain all winter,

until you spring forth.

[Honeygloom]

I love what you did there in the last line, well done🖤

[Songsterfunsterhamster]

You leave us in drought,

Dog-dry and desiccated

By failing to grieve

[Honeygloom]

Nice! Love the alliteration🖤

[A.C. Cargill, All-Human Author]

Wither in Sun's rays

Shimmer in the baking heat

Coolness will renew

Lovely imagery🖤

Shepherds look to gods

The Good Shepherd is so real

Watching over us

[Honeygloom]

I love this, very tender🖤

[Chris J. Franklin]

The Underworld's snare,

Loosens once more, and there's joy,

As Spring fills the air.

But they miss the fact,

That each year it gets harder,

To claw his way back... 😎

[Honeygloom]

I love this! Ignorance is bliss🖤

[Chris J. Franklin]

Thanks! It's definitely not as simple as just stepping on an elevator! Haha... 😎

[M. N. Tarrint]

Drops fall to dry earth

Dimuzud awakes to tears

Resurrecting life

This is beautiful🖤

[M. N. Tarrint]

Thank you! These haiku challenges are fun

[Dylan Delgado]

Ground cracks under sun

His spirit falls underground

'til the fall deluge

[Honeygloom]

I love this imagery! Reminiscent of the water cycle, which is such a cool way of thinking of it🖤

[ClownWorld Shakespeare]

Born under March moon

Provide the feast, then you dig…

…your grave for late June.

Not a bad life, really, lots of rest🤷‍♀️
