We asked for them, and you sent them in! Congrats to all who played along. Wear your "Zombies are People Too" buttons and stickers with pride. Special congratulations to Rebecca Waite, the winning entrant of the contest, who won the autographed S.G. Browne copy of "Breathers". That was the worst part, by far. It's always sad that only one can win. But, you still get a little swag and you get to see your poems posted here.
I was remarkably surprised by the number of entries I received. Who knew? Over 100 haikus were sent in, and due to the constraints of the space I've got to work with, I'll have to post a few. My apologies to everyone who does not see theirs here. Let the hate email begin.
Zombie Pirates
Zombie Pirates Rule!
Forget about juicy brains,
Just eat the booty!
Zombies or Couch Potatoes?
aimless stare, moaning,
drooling as they eat, just like
me watching TV
Jesus
Zombie Messiah!
Hallelujah! For he hath
risen from the dead.
The Authors Speaks Rocks!
Zombie haiku and free shit!
Sign me up, please sir.
Running won't help you.
I can break down your doors... wait,
Is that a shotgun?
Sensations recede
Only hunger pains remain
Must eat brains…brains…brains
Slow, stiff and shuffling
Nothing works like it used to
My nose just fell off
Formaldehyde High
formaldehyde high
caressing my rotting brain
ain’t that just a blast!
Roaming endlessly
for the joy of terror that
we masses consume.
Drinking and driving
is dangerous, but a back seat
zombie is bit worse
zombie sharks bite.
powerful jaws always smile.
they fuck my shit up!
Zombie Hunger
love that breather meat
any way I can get it
brain stew, anyone?
I'll post more of these as the days go by. I was quite impressed with the tremendous turn-out on these haiku. Some, I'll confess, were painful. But most were quite fun reads! Kudos! Pat yourself on the back and keep writing.Obviously, this little promo was for our interview with author S.G. Browne, the bestselling author of "Breathers: A Zombies Lament". If you've read the book, you know why zombies and haiku go together so righteously. If you've not read the book, you really are missing one of the best books of 2009. Yes, it's not superbly original, but it's the execution of the piece that works. You can also visit http://www.undeadanonymous.com/ for more on protagonist Andy's "life"style.
Tomorrow we'll have reviews on two new books in the paranormal fiction arena, and Thursday we'll chat with S. G. Browne. Too, we'll explore a new way to giveaway books. I've received two emails that explained the James Morrow contest was too difficult. So, let's tweak it a little, shall we?
Win an autographed first edition of Morrow's "The Last Witchfinder".
In the interview with James Morrow, he talks about God giving Adam and Eve a daikaiju as a pet. That's been taken, granted, and there's a giant monster in the book of Revelation (as well as numerous stories involving Jonah, Elijah, and others). So, here's the challenge: Tell me what book of the Bible would have benefited from a Giant Monster (what type of monster and why). Send it along with the subject line: MORROW RULES. And send it in by 7/8/2010.
Until then, keep reading.
