Ciao poet, you now have 4 votes.

I never understood the craze for this genre.

It's the gore I can't take .

I thought your poem without indulging into the gore ( with words or artwork ) captured just the same the main element of zombies , these human flesh eaters.

    It was about the fear of Zombies as they don't exist. Unfortunately, you don't get far on this site without a picture. Thank you for your vote of confidence.

I like the imagery you created with the word choices of shadows and the moonlight casting no warmth.

Best of luck with the contest.

Fun!! I would say that such a short form needs not the excessive punctuation... nor any at all, actually. Let the lines 'pause' for you... Thank you so much for sharing your 5-7-5 take on this 'unique' prompt and best of luck to you in the contest!

    Okay, you can think what you think and I will think what I do. You may be right but, have you ever considered that what you may just be wrong? Right for you but wrong for me. Are you serious that I deserve to drop a star because I chose to use punctuation?

    Just read your minute poem, I wonder why you chose to use a comma at the end of the first line of the first stanza but not at the first line of the others? I wonder why, I would never dream of giving you a four-star review because of it, I just assume that is your choice and I am happy to leave it at that.

    Have you ever seen a zombie walk? Kind of jerky aren't they? They move and stop and move and stop and move and stop. A little bit like my Zombie Haiku.

I feel like I am watching the opening scene of an episode of THE WALKING DEAD. You set it very well in a graveyard by focusing on creepy shadows, silent whispers and cold moonlight. Rod

This is an excellent 5-7-5 poem for the Zombie contest
with very good description of the Zombie world
like Hades invading the nighttime of earth.
Nicely done.
Good luck in the contest.
Robert
