We Are Zombie

Zombies have feelings It's sad but so true Our diets are different We like eating you We move rather slow Yet you can't get away We follow the bleeder It is the game we play Our clothing is shabby Yet we have Zombie style To look really creepy We'll go the extra mile One of our problems We have horrible breath One of the side effects When it comes to death It's not really that bad Us zombies rule the night Best that you take a plane Zombies never take flight We cannot stay seated Or follow commands With that turbulence We may lose our hands So down here on earth We will hobble around Moaning and groaning Our unique zombie sound For carol Eastman's Halloween Contest. Written November 1st 2013 By: Richard Lamoureux.

This made me feel interested in rewatching the walking dead series, ...great poem, someone had to speak for the Zombie community, vampires and werewolfes have had too much uneccesarry credit for years....enjoying your poems sir, am astonished at your large body of work.. and great work too

Fun poem and enjoyed the point of view. I think 'go the extra mile' would be the perfect slogan for a zombie ad.

Maybe a Zombie put it there. They probably feed on poetry too as well as flesh. Congratulations on your big win. Love, Joyce

Don't believe in Halloween.....Don't watch scary movies.....Don't post on poems on these subject matters, but I will make an exception with you, Richard......Very well written and rather humorous......Good job! Love the bit about losing the hands......I liked MJ's Thriller video...Even that spooked me out...Don't go near scary movies....Take care! :)

I loved that video when it came out, he was ahead of his time. I am pleased you commented even though I know you are not a fan of the genre.
