Horror Haiku Club Prompt

Sep 03, 2024

Slavic field spirits said to have grass growing on their heads instead of hair.

Your prompt is POLEVIK

Come touch grass, he says
And I want to, I reach out
Erupting in boils

The polevik lure people into the fields and either give them a disease or trample them with horses.

The grass was silent,

Then, they appeared behind him,

Little men, laughing...

He knew what that meant,

Soon, their horses were coming,

To claim a victim... 😎

Cries for help are heard,

deep within the fields at dusk

I rush toward them.

I call out searching,

going deeper into the dark

"Where are you? I'm here!"

I stumble and fall,

dead things lay all around me,

I cry out for help.
