This picture must be of the new character- the werewolf. I am anxiously awaiting his part to play in this haiku horror mystery.

Another great picture choice.

I fear Claudiu will soon find Mirela and have his way with her. I wonder, will she be able to resist him, I got the impression that it is Claudiu that smells her musty hearth sent...right?

LOL yes, he had his way with her but she is not an innocent bystander. :) Thank you for reading our whole book in one day. LOL that is a record for us.

The surrounding know that there is something afoot and waiting for her.
the accompanying picture is very well done.
I love the addition of the senses you put into play with this part.

And the PLOT thickens... LOL (as in earth plot for a grave)
That musty earth scent is so deeply set that perfumes just won't cover it!
I'm loving where this story is going- keep it up!

Hola Gitana, this is a terrifying haiku where she smells the musty scent from the freshly turned soil which she is within. A wonderful satori. I love this project of yours. Un abrazo de tu amiga Ulla:)))

This does great for the horror effect. The musty earth scent really comes through. "Freshly turned soil" shows that something's at work. Maybe she claws her way out. I'm not a fan of the word reminisce as you use it here. Last line adds to spooky effect. judi

Hi Gypsy
Undoubtedly, the author has met up with a ghost. The smell of a freshly dug grave surrounds the specter. Unmistakable. Is it the wind moaning? or is it the ghost?
I like the horror in this poem. It's contact from beyond the grave. Spooky stuff.
The one thing I wonder about is "reminisce".
"Her musty earth scent
reminisce freshly turned soil"
( "reminisce" is a verb, and therefore should agree with the noun. In this case, it's the "scent" that reminds the writer of "freshly turned soil". So, should "reminisce" be "reminisces"?
I would prefer to read,
Her musty earth scent
reminiscent of freshly turned earth ... but that's way too many syllables. I'm not sure how to repair without changing that last line. As far as the last line goes, I don't think the wind is actually moaning anyway. It's the ghost moaning. What do you think?
The basic scene is top notch for your Horror Haiku book.

cheers
Kimbob

Gypsy,
This is a great addition to the book. The artwork is perfect--it gives readers an idea of what Mirela may face in the future writes. Will she be able to resist him?

Good job on the format of the haiku. Yours is excellent. There is a connection in lines 1 & 2 with a great 3rd line as the aha. The syllable count is good. The font style adds to the mystery, too with its old style appearance.

Good job & thanks for sharing. Jan

Thank you, Jan :) Dean and I have no real plan for future haiku just a general idea where we want the story to go but leave it up to our individual muse. There will definitely be something going on between Mirela and Claudiu... stay tuned LoL

I appreciate that you took the time to read and review my haiku. You are very kind.
