The first week of terror is near complete.

Each Friday I'll post submissions from friends and family, as well as one or more of my own haikus.

RX Bizness speaks from the 'hood...

Just made my first kill, nigga.
Fuck, I want nachos.

Nick Braccia, the proprietor of horror haiku, brings you...

Gummy, delicious,
green, chewy strips of slug meat.
Please sir, hold the salt.

An English boy asks,
“What’s in my granny’s knickers?”
She’s asleep. He peeks…

Enjoy your weekend.
