Resident Evil Haikus

Click, clack; the growling

Mutant dogs around the bend

I’d better reload



The door opens slow

What evil lies beyond it

Oh good, a save room



Dramatic music

Heart pounds! A strong beast to fight

One shot: magnum round



What strange dialog

Chris is in a prison cell

Jill tells him “Wait here”



Why go it alone

Zombies are at every turn

I’d keep Claire with me



Colored herbs: red…blue

What will each one do to me

Green herb: I feel good



Amazing graphics

But why do they all walk like

Boards are up their ass



A giant spider

Soft thumping along the wall

My thoughts: “Run, Forrest”

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Ok, here's another tribute to one of my favorite, mind numbing, indulgences: Capcom's video game Resident Evil.  Who's badder: Jill Valentine or Lara Croft?

You're out of your mind; however, if, in your mind are thoughts like these, I don't blame you for leaving. Very cleverly written.

Truly a materpiece..... Although I have not played all of the resident evils, I can still appriciate the Haikus. Keep up the good work (still love the courage haikus though) But these will still carey a special place in my heart as well! =)~
