So I'm multi-purposing here, been really too busy to even drop by, but one of my writing groups has started doing prompts every week. Thus, the Monster Haikus. I am so muli-purposing right now, I even used this assignment for my ninth graders today. Here goes.
Godzilla, Mothra, King Kong, Zombies, Vampires, Werewolves, Frankenstein, Medusa, and Creature from the Black Lagoon.... and one more personal favorite, Cylon.
O my gorgeous green
rage, rise well up and fall hard—
crush our mess to bits.
Pupae in my head
this morning, stirs restlessly
ready to crack free.
You climb because what
else? Civilization hot
to cage up your lust.
We feed on each other
your heart sinewy, my mind
rW, unsavory.
Pale and pretty man
eyes drawing in, draining—
blood leaps to meet you.
Better than a man,
loyal and cuddly and brave,
my wild hairy luvah.
Or any other
part belonging to a man—
what’s this? A kumquat?
She shrinks from eyes, hides
her vicious lovely hair, her
stony loving gaze.
My worst date ever?
Did he have poor hygiene? Not
for a slimeball, no.
What to do with you?
kill, listen, frak, kill—why choose?
Frak—you’ll come again.
