Zombie Poetry

Here are some samples of zombie haiku from students in Ms. Dorsey's English classes:

Enjoy your life now.
You might not live very long.
Zombies are coming.
-- Kristen O.

Halloween is here.
A lot of zombie costumes
but are they costumes?
-- Kristen O.

limp and weak, breathless
undead, bones and skin decay –
This makes a zombie.
-- Lizzie M.

walking slowly, dead
searching, brains fill their nostrils
There’s one  behind you.
-- Leslie V.

sleeping very sound
hearing dead footsteps coming
your door opens. . .  run!
-- Leslie V.

Parents, don't read this one:
look, it's a zombie
he's gonna eat my mommy.
no more chores for me.
       -- Jane T.



Look! zombies are near.
It is time to run in fear.
Your scream they can't hear.

      -- Jane T.

Beware of zombies.
They could be under your bed.
You are not alone.
    --- Mellissa P.

We're attracted to. .
Your yummy brains and your lungs
which are very good.
  --- Mellissa P.

A claw and a thrash
and off comes your head rolling.
The zombie wants brains.
    -- James R.

Mmm!  I want some brains!
Legs sound just as good as brains!
Pass some arms down here!
   -- Cassidy K.


Infectious undead
They're coming for you today.
Beware!  They're hungry.
--- Brennan B.

Early in the day
when you least expect the worst
zombies will invade
  -- Kortnee C.



Comes with no warning
Foulest stench is in the air
Hide to stay alive.
-- Katie W.



roar, roar, roar, roar, roar
the zombies are coming.  Run!
roar, roar, roar, roar, roar
  -- Matt M.

Lightning in the sky
zombies will conquer the world
It begins today
   --Moses C.

Make sure you get F's
It's really great when you're smart
until zombies come.
  --- Brighton G.

Carry a shotgun
with a supersonic lens
must get rid of them
 --- Jared Bradshaw

And a new one, added 10/19/09 from Buzz B.:

oh shuff'ling undead

that I could be as you are:

tenacious, focused 

And another, from Willow V., added 10-26-09: 

Squishy, squirty mush
That funky smell, I'd know the
smell of rotting brains
