Inspired by You
This week’s artwork was initially inspired by a poem from a waaaays back by Kylie Goetz:
the siren singing
beckons to a wat’ry grave
drown in melody #horrorhaikuesday— Kylie Goetz (@eXtremeKylieG) November 22, 2016
Watery Grave
Murky night slips in through parted lips
Violent burst of bubbles escape
as burning lungs gasp in treacherous water
and a smile tears across the drowning man’s face.
He was right,
She was real.
~Jeanette Andromeda
I’d still like to invite you to use this artwork as inspiration for your haiku creations this week. If you link to this post, tag @horror_made or #horrorhaikuesday in your poem I’ll be able to find it and add your creation to next week’s post.
Need a notebook for your diabolical poetry? You can get one with today’s artwork on the cover along with other goodness over on my Society 6 store.

Here’s the response poems to last week’s artwork; The River Styx.
Crossed and double crossed
A man whose wire broke now

Please God hear us weep,
For the blood of our children,
Flow as endless streams#HorrorHaikuesday— Z. (@Zedzeddicus) January 31, 2017

Hey, did you know that Kylie has a YouTube channel where she shares her poetry on a regular basis? You didn’t?! Oh, well, you should go watch her ukulele songs and poetry. Here’s one of hers I thought fit the theme:
Far above the world
human sins turn to chaos
And Death smiles, waiting #HorrorHaikuesday https://t.co/E25brWkheh— A. F. Stewart (@scribe77) January 31, 2017
Blood across the wall
Painted human skulls, staring
Hell’s Gate, reflecting #HorrorHaikuesday— A. F. Stewart (@scribe77) January 31, 2017
And here’s one from Deb she shared on her blog; ARealMessyBeautifulTwistedSunshine.wordpress.com
The sea, his graveyard
as his flesh fed the sirens
Oh, foolish human!

Until next time my friends ❤

This filled my heart to bursting! Love your gorgeous artwork so much. And that your art can inspire my words and my words can inspire your art makes me feel part of something greater! The internet may have its nefarious side, but that it can bring together people who might never otherwise meet, to make art from a tweet…well, isn’t that sweet?
