Savage Chicken: Poet-Bot Loves You!

I <3 Doug Savage’s awesome cartoon series Savage Chickens (featured previously on Neatorama here). I particularly like this one – because my computer does the same thing, except it’s probably thinking of ways to cause serious bodily harm.

Tiny Poems
Tiny Poems is a blog about mini poetry written on a single sheet of sticky yellow Post-It Notes. Sometimes the best ideas are the simplest, and the cleverest poets are the briefest!
Like a madness,
it grips internals,
twitching,
flexing,
instincts correlate,
holding me here,
driving me closer to them.
Zombie Haikus by Fake and Real Poets
Remember the zombie haiku post on Neatorama a while ago? Well, Ryan Mecum, author of Zombie Haiku (the book) wrote to us about his project of writing such haikus in the style of famous poets:
Zombie Haiku by Dylan Thomas
Do not go gentle
into that zombie plagued night.
And take the shotgun.Zombie Haiku by Walt Whitman
Every skin atom
form’d from this soil, this air,
tastes like chicken meat.Zombie Haiku by William Shakespeare
To bite through the skull
or beat it against the wall?
That is the question.
Soon after, real poets and writer joined in the fun:
Back to the buffet
for second helpings-
Care for a rump of infant?
- Billy Collins, former U.S. Poet Laureate and author of the lovely Ballistics: PoemsIf zombies smoked pot
maybe they would skip the brains
and settle for cake.
- Doug Benson, writer and comedian regularly seen on Best Week EverThe day I died you
tried to put a bullet in
my head. You missed. Lunch!
- David Wellington, author of the terrifying Monster Island trilogy
