Spook-tacular Writing Submitted to 5th Annual SFJH Zombie Haiku Contest

Submitted by david.thacker on

Mr. Anson’s 9th grade Honors English students had a tough time choosing winners from all the terrifyingly terrific submissions to this year's Zombie Haiku Contest.  Hundreds of poems were submitted by both students and teachers.  This year’s contest even featured poems written by Mr. Moss’s intermediate and advanced Spanish students--in Español. 

The judging is over and here are the winners

Mopping up the crimson blood
A zombie mom’s “dream”

 Students who are at
Spanish Fork Junior High now
Fear the Zombies here
They don’t want the last
Thing they hear to be the moan
Of the Zombie Horde
Their last glance to be
Into the soulless eyes of
The undead creatures
Their rank and foul breath
Overwhelms as they close in
Their teeth chattering
Excruciating
The only way to describe
The pain of the bites
Temporary pain
A small price to be paid for
An eternity
Of aimless roaming
Now a small part of the horde
Searching for fresh meat
Students who are at
Spanish Fork Junior High now
Are the Zombies here
Mr. Thacker
