Freestyle Poetry #9 and 2 other Haikus

Flush out corrupted remains

Take rest on stained bed sheets

Ignore the wailing woods

Put on a mourning face

Make sure the corpse died

Tell the others the truth

Tell them of infection

"The eggs in the body hatched"

You say to the others

"I could not bury the corpse"

You cry out desperately

As they listen to your pleas

The bones in your body shift

The larvae inside nibble

You did not stop what happened

Sheltered children venture out

Sad faces filled with cheer

Leaving a kept, rotten house

With feet covered by slippers

Out on a dark winter night
