Shakespeare Zombie Haiku for Halloween







The first one is by Dr. Chris Crowe, the second by Deon Youd, the rest are my own evil creations. Enjoy!

Zombie of Venice
skulks in shadows, hungry for a
juicy pound of flesh

Henry the Fifth speaks,
calling his zombies to arms.
No guts, no glory.

A brain! A brain! My
kingdom for a brain! Richard
revealed as zombie . . .

Macbeth moans, “Is this
a brain I see before me?
Come, let me eat thee!”

“What’s in a brain?” Come 
hither, sweetest Romeo,
and let me find out.

“Alas, poor Yorick!
I ate him, a fellow of
infinite brain mass.”

Come not between King
Lear and his brain, while so young 
and yet so tender.
