Grim Reaper turns head
Holds piercing scythe to your throat
Slice, slice, now you're dead

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

Great haiku, although I am not in to horror. But well done Janis.
You created a whole horror story in just three lines—that’s impressive.
Lol, this is delightfully fun!
Haha gotta love the Grim Reaper. Good luck with the challenge and welcome to Vocal
Well-wrought! I like to think of him as disarmingly polite. "Sorry about this. It's my job, you know?"
spooky and in so few words
Brutal, quick, and oddly satisfying. It’s like the reaper himself wouldn’t waste words.
Oooh I like this angle 😁
Oh this was frightening. Especially the turning of the head. The third line. Everything happened so fast. Now I won't be able to say I am alive. This was fantastic Janis 👏🏾 👌🏾 🤗❤️🖤
