He paid for a dive

In our shark cage, but she paid

To leave it unlatched

Another horror haiku adapted from an old twosentencehorror story I wrote, in having mad fun trying to adapt these into even shorter micros.

If this seems fun to you too, check out the challenge titled “Haunted Echoes”!

Oh, and heresy original, before it got trimmed down to a haiku

    Now I actually love that vocal created a scary themed haiku. Because I am reading it as if I am reading a full horror story. Kind of like reading every word slowly and carefully, with that being said… I thought I could’ve predicted the last line but nope. Not a chance. This one wasn’t clunky 👌🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🤗♥️
