Great job Gypsy. I like the concept and it reminds.me to get my butt back to your club.

Love the mention of fast food. That was cute. Great take on the Zombie Apocalypse.

I'm a bit confused as to whether or not this is based on a song like my 12 days of Halloween. You mentioned wanting to try taking a song and changing the words.
Did you perhaps send me the wrong link?
I scoured your portfolio but did not see anything.
Let me know. I'd love to read it.

What a great Hora Haiku or Brevette, Gypsy. The pictures were great they showed all sorts of zombies. Your words were just right, they played into the whole zombie thing. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

Wow, great Halloween Haiku both in words and the pictures are stunning and perfect to carry and enhance your words. It is spooky with a touch of dark humor.
Happy Halloween

Goodness! The images you've chosen to accompany these pieces are so vivid and arresting. Your words are so carefully selected and they are really impactful. Thank you for the explanation of the brevette - that's not a form I have previously come across, so I have learned something this morning. Much appreciated!

This is a great Halloween poem. Unfortunately the first stanza spoke to me:

nuclear winter

in a dark and gloomy world--

zombies survived

It reminded me of the horrors of wars in our world today, nothing what could come of it all.

I like it! More like LOVE it! Perfect for this time of year and although I have never heard of a Brevet it felt like a Haiku with afterthoughts.

Not sure if that makes sense, but that was my take. Great piece. Needed a sixer.

    It makes total sense. Brevette means "brief; succinct" and haiku is the same. The first three lines are a horror haiku, the rest are Brevettes.

    Thank you for the exceptional six stars review.

    Take care, my friend. I wish the best for you.

Holy schmoli, this one is powerful and comical at the same time. I loved it, and I am usually not a zombie person, but I really wanted it to keep going.
Is there no end to the different kinds of poetry you know. The style is awesome and I have always admired how you get the layered art between stanzas of your remarkable poetry.

I loved the fast food part! You are brilliant, my amazing friend. Simply brilliant!
Hugs to you. Love, Debi

Another fine poem, Gypsy----I like the line, 'people are fast food.' I picture a drive-through for zombies. "Yeah, give me a people platter and anon-alcoholic blood wine."

Zombies are my Achilles heel. I've tried to get used to the images and thoughts of them. Even written my own zombie spoof, but they continue to terrify me. But, having said that, I enjoy a good scare. Both your poem and the chosen images have achieved that. Lol. Gretchen
