Horror Haiku Club Prompt

[Caro Henry]

He, a cursed being

Yearning for her tender touch

Tempted by the night

[Honeygloom]

I like the supernatural feel to this, but I love that it could be totally real, too. He loves her, but he’s tempted by drugs or whatever other mischief people get up to at night. Really cool!

[Caro Henry]

Thanks. I'm in the midst of a flash fiction piece about someone addicted to opioids. I guess that sorta snuck in. 😉

[Honeygloom]

Funny how that happens😏

[ClownWorld Shakespeare]

Cross-eyed sailor man

Glanced North Star: “You Sirius?”

No laughing matter

[Honeygloom]

🤦‍♀️This guy is in trouble.

[Gloria Horton-Young]

1.

A cat and a fish,

Star-crossed in their wish to play,

Glass divides their worlds.

2.

A desert flower,

Craves the storm's fleeting caress,

Star-crossed thirst for rain.

3.

A comet's tail, bright,

Wishing on a star it meets,

Star-crossed in the night.

4.

Mountains and the sea,

Dreaming of each other's touch,

Star-crossed, yet they wait.

[Honeygloom]

Wow! I’m impressed 🤩 The Cat In the Hat haiku is genius I have to say.

[Gloria Horton-Young]

Thank you!!!

Troilus pledged his love

To the fair Trojan maiden;

Faithless Cressida.
