About this author
Hello. My name is Ryan Mecum. I wrote a book about a zombie who writes haiku called Zombie Haiku. I also wrote a book about a vampire who writes haiku called Vampire Haiku.

Description:
Here are some short poems I wrote in the voice of some of my favorite poets, as if they were writing a zombie poem in 5,7,5 syllable structure.

I liked this book.
My two favorite spoiler-free haikus are: I feel less alone reading the words of poets who speak to my soul and from the author's bio: This one's for my kids: When I go, if I come back, aim for Daddy's head. (view spoiler) " Read more of this review » |

Even though it was relatively short, I was impressed by the writer's ability to tell a cohesive story in the form of haiku. I know this sounds kind of lame, but Mecum used the poetry form only as a structure for the story, not in the way that most...
