As promised the first zombie haiku of the new year. Originally I thought this book was just a bunch of random poems. I was wrong. Apparently it is a journal of sorts chronicling the end of days for the world and in particular the author. The cheesy backstory is the author is a poet of sorts yet he chooses haiku as his form. I thought real poets abhorred haikus? Aren't they like only for children and teenagers looking for straight D's on their English projects? I would share these in the order they occur in the book but that would take years and probably would be too much plagiarism. Instead I will read through, give some background and share snippets. Let's start at the beginning though. This man is starting his descent into madness and early on starts out with one of his most touching haikus.

Resolutions
It's that time of year again. The time we all decide to better ourselves and make a list of things we are going to do in the upcoming year. Normally I don't set resolutions. Just don't see the point to it. I'll just forget what they were and get disappointed around February when I fail everything. This year however I do have one resolution to set. MOAR ZOMBIIIIESSS! My cousin bought me some zombie books last year so I could continue the monthly zombie posts. It's about time to start using them. Starting January I will be posting zombie stuff every month. The best part? It's zombie poetry! It doesn't get much better than that. Let's see if this will be a resolution I keep.
HaxXors!
