Challenge
Challenge of the Week(ish) CCXXXIV
Write a haiku about discovering a corpse. Two weeks for this one. 50 bucks to the winner, chosen by Prose. Go.
I thought it was hyperbole
I found the first one
Heart extracted from her chest
Out in the garden
The second body
Sat rotting by an oak tree
Enjoying sunsets
Body by body
It was easy to find them
Following her clues
I had to wonder
Why did she show them to us
Why did she trust us
Seventeen corpses
Seventeen victims of love
Her collection of hearts
It was poetic
It was sensuous and dark
It was beautiful
Undeniable
Oh Sushi what have you done
It wasn't fiction
