Horror Poetry: Dark Verse

For this challenge, write one or more horror haiku  set in a familiar place after it has emptied.

Let the poem carry a feeling of unease, intrusion, or quiet wrongness, and a sense that something has been left behind — or is waiting.

Guidelines:

• Traditional haiku form (5–7–5 syllables)

• Post as many haiku as you like

• Suggestion over explanation — keep it subtle

  
  

Think in images. Let silence, absence, or small details do the work.

Jump in whenever the mood strikes.
