Horror Haiku Club Prompt

[Caro Henry]

An homage to “The Odyssey”

Nobody’s eye turns

Blinded by deception, lies

A stake through the truth

[Honeygloom]

Nice! Such an epic scene. Makes you want to shake your fist at Ulysses.

[Gloria Horton-Young]

Weary circle eye,

heavy with the weight of years -

forever alone.

[Honeygloom]

I love this! A good mix of humor and pathos.

[B. F. Bodhisattva]

An eye for an eye

He starts with disadvantage

Good luck taking his

[Honeygloom]

Nice work! I love that your worked in the saying, very clever🖤

[David Perlmutter]

Leela from "Futurama" and Polyphemus from "The Odyssey" are the cyclops I know of best- they are of very different temperaments.

[Honeygloom]

Ha! Forgot about Leela. Should have put her picture up there.

[Iris Shaw]

A single eye brings

Both light and darkness alike -

And at last, your end.

[Honeygloom]

This sounds like it should be at the beginning of an epic sci-fi/fantasy story. So cool🖤

These Haikus are my favorite lessons on ancient things. You pack so much detail in these posts.

I'm always Googling a bit more about the topic right away

[Honeygloom]

Ha! I have fun researching. I’m kind of an obsessive learner😂

[ClownWorld Shakespeare]

Well, here's a last-minute entry.

Why did Cyclops go...

...to France? He wanted to see…

...the ‘Eyeful’ Tower.

[Honeygloom]
