Zombies!

So I spent part of the day yesterday at the Alpine School District main office, meeting with a group of fabulous writing teachers, including my funny friend Chris Crowe. Chris (author of the amazing book MISSISSIPPI TRIAL, 1955) is currently into Zombie Haiku. He tossed this bit of verse off yesterday:

fresh tiramisu
a zombie delicacy
real ladies' fingers

Here's another:

"Let me pick your brain"
not a metaphorical
request from zombies

This was written by Claudia, one of the teachers in the group:

So much alike, both
Zombies and psychologists
Want inside your head.

I came up with this:

For you my dear love,
I'd give an arm and a leg,
Then watch you eat them.

Okay. Time to wrap this up. Now that I've ruined my dinner . . .

    At zombie college
    spring semester I'll study
    reanimation

    Or how 'bout

    My brain parasite
    fell so passionately for
    your brain parasite

    Or

    Excuse me! I am
    not a vampire! I rule,
    for I am undead.

    Or

    Come live with me and
    let me infest you with toxo-
    plasmosa gondii!

    Ha ha! So funny. I'd try to come up with one, but I couldn't compare! I had so much fun with you yesterday. You are too kind to me. The best Mother-in-law ever!

    I must have a bite
    My mouth waters for your flesh
    Come close and taste death.
