Somewhere in the dark
Screams shatter the fragile night
And they draw closer

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

I love how you used the last line to turn the first two lines into a story with momentum. Great work!
Great work, my friend. The screams drawing closer amped the spooky level 10-fold.
Eek! 😊👍 Looking forward to these. Great job, Dana.
This was soooo creeepppyyyy! Loved your Haiku!
Oh, nicely done.
Yikes! I don't want to know what's drawing closer, but I do want to say that this is a great haunted haiku!
“And they draw closer”—what a disturbing line! Well done on the haiku, and good luck on the challenge!
