Haiku 16--Ghoul

pallid flesh stretched tight

paralysis comes your way;

elves laugh in disdain

Haiku 15--Shambling Mound

mobile hungry plant
feeds on electrical spark;
vegan he is not

Haiku 14--Flind

fiend folio gnoll

sociologist's gnoll, too...

flindbar finds target

Haiku 13--Blue Dragon

This is a blues weekend at our house. I was a substitute bass player for Chicago Bob and the Butchers at a local blues festival on Saturday night ("No, kids, Daddy is not a scab, he is a substitute."). Tonight, we are going to hear (and see) Buddy Guy in concert. So, in keeping with the blues, I offer this haiku:

sparks and bolts erupt
spewing high voltage current;
elven hair stands on end

Haiku 12--Ogre

big bodied...dimmed wit
weaklings become next meal;
still barely giant class
