Poetry Excerpts from Horror Haiku 

and Other Poems

Here’s a few haiku…

Faint breath past silence

abandoned in the darkness

Nowhere left to run

~~~

Sable sky caress

ardent touch of death tears

the glory world burns

~~~

Heavy lies the night

It swallows me—I am lost

one more scream echoes

~~~

And here’s one of the longer poems:

Beneath the Surface

The shadows quiver, 

after sunrise

as the day prepares

to banish the night

But an ache lingers,

a ranting echo

with a purpose

The town sign still stands

A faded yellow, 

from happier times

When it used to be

a place to laugh,

a place to learn

a place to live

Now, those days

only memories can recall

The town stands empty,

barricaded in isolation

a memorial cross

to tell its tragedy
~~~

Horror Haiku and Other Poems

Words linger...

In the darkness of shadows, in the distant screams.

They whisper past the drip, drip of blood.

The strange beauty of words hide, waiting for you.

Embrace the horror.

--A. F. Stewart
