Hmm… maybe. Imagine it showing up to your picnic and eating all the ants eating your food and then eating you. All the food untouched, but you’re nowhere to be found… see if Sherlock Holmes can solve that one!
Hey Honeygloom, do you know how I actually subscribe to the Horror Haiku thing? I just do them when one happens to come across my notes feed. But if I go to your profile they're nowhere to be found. Not on your posts, not on notes. And if I search for "Horror Haiku" substack doesn't seem to realize those words exist together, lol. Not a big dea,l just wondering. Note that I am both a moron and a luddite and so may be missing something obvious.
Not to worry! You can just become a free subscriber to Honeygloom and you’ll get the Horror Haiku posts. Right now it’s just a section of my main newsletter, not a newsletter on it’s own. If that makes sense😅
I do believe you just arrived at the perfect metaphor for social media ...
Garbage in… and in… and in…🧨
Gorgon head in hand
Slayer drips blood. Snake! Two heads!
One? For ants. Two? Flesh.

"Hey this thing is eating all the ants. Man I hope one of these comes to every picnic. Wait. Where's aunt Mildred?"
Also, have you ever tried to work 3 syllables of "Perseus" into a haiku? Brutal. Spent 30 minutes before hitting ye olde Thesaurus.
Oh the Greek and Roman names are a challenge for sure. I think I mostly left them out of mine 😅

Right gotcha. I had followed you but not subscribed. I have done that. (I think). Poems incoming L.A.M.F.
Thanks!
Wooo!! I love some mf poems🖤
Though one face cries, the
Other plots. One sleeps, one keeps
Watch. Hunted, hunter.
I love this. There’s so much implied tension.
I’ll poop out your mouth
And you can poop out of mine
Best friends forever
I mean who else is gonna be their friends?
In the dead of night,
Amphisbaena's eyes aglow,
Two heads seek their fright.
Through the silent town,
It slithers, whispers of doom,
Shadows bow down.
At the break of dawn,
Only echoes of screams left,
The beast has withdrawn.
So scary even shadows now down 😬Well done!
