Zombie haiku contest -- best entry wins the game of Plants vs. Zombies

Plants vs. Zombies continues to fascinate three out of the four members of our household. To share the love, I'm giving away this Plants vs. Zombies gift card. I won't send you the actual card, though. Instead I'll send you another photo of this card without the dry roasted edamame beans that cover up the code you need to enter to unlock the game for unlimited play.

How do you win? By writing the best zombie-themed haiku in the comments. Deadline is 2am Pacific Time.

You can download a one-hour trial of the game here.

If Famous Poets wrote Zombie Haiku:

Zombie Haiku by Dylan Thomas
Do not go gentle
into that zombie plagued night.
And take the shotgun.

Zombie Haiku by Sylvia Plath
From head to black shoe,
daddy, I had to eat you
because I’m starving.

Zombie Haiku by Robert Frost
Two lobes in the skull.
I eat the bloodier one –
not much difference.

Zombie Haiku by e.e. cummings
if anyone lived
in this wretched how town (they)
would be soon eaten.

Zombie Haiku by Emily Dickinson
I heard a fly buzz
when I became a zombie.
That was one loud bug.

Zombie Haiku by Walt Whitman
Every skin atom
form’d from this soil, this air,
tastes like chicken meat.

Zombie Haiku by William Shakespeare
To bite through the skull
or beat it against the wall?
That is the question.

Zombie Haiku by Edgar Allen Poe
Beside of the sea
I killed my Annabel Lee
because zombies do that.

I play L4D but would love to give plants vs zombies a go:

In only two weeks
Of infection, zombies all.
World has gone to Hell.

Only four immune,
Got to get to the safe house:
Shotgun or uzi?

We've been left for dead,
Hold up, this is something new,
Looks like they're changing.

Someone's still alive!
Over there, sounds like a girl,
Crying in the dark.

Hear her icy wail,
Flashlights off, avoid her gaze,
Don't startle the witch.

SHIT, SHIT, THEY'RE COMING!
What the? RUN LIKE HELL! Get back
To the alleyway.

For our flesh they come,
For their sake I hope they like
The taste of hot lead.

Boom! One down, fifty-
Three thousand five hundred and
Ninety-four to go.

You tap my shoulder,
Wait- hands aren't normally wet!
Smoker 'round my neck!

HANG ON! You shout out,
Chk chk BOOM, fall to the ground,
"Merry Christmas Bill."

Get our asses up,
There's too many- beep, beep, beep,
Fire in the hole!

Zombies into mush:
Smoke detector and a pipe?
Call me MacGyver.

"Boomer!" Someone shouts,
Too close! Ugh, now I can't see,
Here we go again.

Backs against the wall,
I'll stick to melee: friendly
Fire isn't friendly.

Chopper overhead,
Over here! Not infected!
Run from the alley.

Hey, what was that sound?
Sounded like a- OH MY GOD!
GET IT OFF OF ME!

Careful, aim your shots,
That car could have an alarm-
Oh look, yes, it did.

Yet another horde.
Wait, something is different.
A blood curdling roar!

Tank comes thundering,
Ripping zombies limb from limb,
Do we run or shoot?

Time to kill the tank,
"Shit, who's got the molotov?"
"I thought you had it!"

Back to the alley,
"Come on, come on" Francis says,
Waiting for the beast.

Francis needs some help!
Face my barking M16.
Okay then, now what?

Get up to the roof!
Silhouettes of zombie forms,
Lit by muzzle flash.

"Go, I'll hold them off!"
She cries out, pistols dropping
Cartridges of brass.

Leaping for her life,
Francis grabs her arm, the tank
Falls down to its death.

"We made it", you say,
No need for a party, son:
We just crossed the street.

Later on we muse,
Deal with it all by laughing
at the things we do:

"I'll see peace on earth,
If I have to kill them all
With my own bare hands."

Protect Zoey for
The sake of humanity:
We must reproduce.

Zoey, just stand still,
Let me bandage up your chest.
"But I'm at full health!"

"Not goin' in there!
I've seen how this movie ends:
The black dude dies first!"

The guys used to laugh
When I hit the range at lunch,
Not so funny now.

Get to the chopper!
Covering fire! Wait, what?
I'm right back in 'Nam.

Thankyou for reading,
My Left 4 Dead haiku tale,
Hope that you enjoyed.
