Haunted Echoes- entry #3
Reflective morning,
shaken off nightmare unveils-
eyes without a face
...
Author's note: My final haiku entry was inspired in part by Billy Idol's song Eyes without a Face.

When the Shelter Closes
Across the street from my house, a man slept under a tree, his dog by his side. My first, naive thought: he must be traveling through. But he kept coming back, often sleeping there during the day. Then it hit me—that person might not have a home.

Yes, really creepy, well done
That hard to shake off , scary image
Love this idea.
love how this piece blends music, dreamlike mood, and haiku precision. It reads like a snapshot of the subconscious.
If I saw that, it would scare the shit outta me, lol. Loved this!
Oooh, but I love your Billy Idol inspired haiku, Marilyn. Well done!
Wouldn't want those looking at me, Marilyn! Horrifyingly apt!
Great, the concept is perfect for horror. It makes me think of the classic "I have no mouth but I must scream," and you fit it into a haiku.
I love how you incorporated the song… creepy perfect
This is good for Halloween as well. Kind of a poem that once again makes one think.
Eyes without a face, super creepy, I love it!
