I love the alliteration you use in these haiku's. In such a short verse they have even more impact I think than in the longer forms. Varcolac look like he has the irits up, great artwork.
cheers,
valda

this is a scream. Meaning also very funny I could listen for hours. I waited to get you a 6. I only wonder how on earth you have all this in this little space, Are there classes on fan story on how to add music and such?

    No, unfortunately there aren't any classes here at FanStory for that sort of thing but I'd be willing to teach you myself if you like.
    Do you have a photobucket.com account? It's totally free and costs nothing more than your email.
    Here's a link to my library in case you're interested in checking it out for yourself.
    Dean's Bucket.

Dean,
This is an awesome presentation. The art is perfect & scary. The colored text is fitting--the red blood- dripping letters add to the overall effect. I like the alliteration & the addition of the music. To read this poem without all that I have written would be a good experience. However, all of the additions make it an awesome one & highlight the fact that your aim is to entertain readers. You always give it your best & this one exemplifies that artistic talent you have. The words themselves are super; but, the added 'things' complete the whole poem making it an experience.

Supermoon on November 14. What will happen to all the werewolves then? Love the 'Werewolves of London' song.

Good job & thanks for sharing. Jan

Dear Dean, I may never look on midnight the same way again. Ok you got my heart rate up and though this is perfectly penned it has imagery that screams off the page. Or perhaps that was me screaming. Just read Robyns killer poem, I was already done in I think. Yikes.
This one bleeds off the page my friend.
Thanks for giving me a new image on midnight....I think.

    Awwww, Jim? You're not really leaving, are you?
    Man, you and I go way back here on FanStory.
    Well, if you feel you have to leave FanStory I'm sure you have a very good reason.
    I'll sure hate to see you go, my friend.
    You'll be sorely missed.
    Take care, Jim, and God bless...

Another fine scream in the form of Hora haiku
excellent imagery and connection for the form
present tense and a solid satori line
plus some good old fashion alliteration
Excellent presentation of the red moon
and "dripping" font
Well done, this should be quite a book when complete
You'll have to change your name to
