Well, Ryan Mecum, author of <em>Zombie Haiku</em> (the book) wrote to us about his project of writing such haikus in <a href="http://www.zombiehaiku.com/fakePoet.html">the style of famous poets</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>Zombie Haiku by Dylan Thomas</strong><br />Do not go gentle<br />into that zombie plagued night.<br />And take the shotgun.</em></p>
<p><em> <strong>Zombie Haiku by Walt Whitman</strong><br />Every skin atom<br />form&#8217;d from this soil, this air,<br />tastes like chicken meat.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Zombie Haiku by William Shakespeare</strong><br />To bite through the skull<br />or beat it against the wall?<br />That is the question.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Soon after, <a href="http://www.zombiehaiku.com/neatWrite.html">real poets and writer</a> joined in the fun:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Back to the buffet<br />for second helpings-<br />Care for a rump of infant?<br />- <strong>Billy Collins</strong>, former U.S. Poet Laureate and author of the lovely Ballistics: Poems</em></p>
<p><em>If zombies smoked pot<br />maybe they would skip the brains<br />and settle for cake.<br />- <strong>Doug Benson</strong>, writer and comedian regularly seen on Best Week Ever</em></p>
<p><em>The day I died you<br />tried to put a bullet in<br />my head. You missed. Lunch!<br />- <strong>David Wellington</strong>, author of the terrifying Monster Island trilogy</em></p>
</blockquote>
