Snuggle
For Haunted Echoes
She lies still…, quiet
Lift sheet, slide in next to her
Shift the knife, snuggle

Congratulations on your win, Andrew! Knife and snuggling, eh, I wonder who actually is the perpetrator. Your haiku is awesome!👏

So much psychological thrill in one haiku! Congrats!!
Congratulations! So open to any one of many different interpretations!
Great entry! Congratulations on runner-up!
Oooo, knife and snuggling hehehehe. Loved this!
creepiness achieved. The picture is really disturbing as well. Nicely put together.
I will return haiku. But I am now wondering what color are the sheets now? Maybe blood red?
😳Argh!!! Andrew! Love what you did here. Wasn’t sure what to expect. Must be challenging finding a twist in 17 syllables!
