Last week we asked you to submit one or more haikus that combined love and/or sex with the macabre in honor of Halloween for the chance to win a LoveHoney “Death by Orgasm” mini-vibe. Eight of you delivered the 10 winning mini-poems — congratulations! (Those who’ll receive more than one bullet can make a few lucky friends very happy.) Thanks to all who entered. And Happy Halloween!

Pam from Saint Paul, MN:

please, babe? just the tip?
he thrusts, and…did it break off?
no more zombie sex

orgasm was great
‘cept i’m a male black widow
worth it? i think so

two bodies, writhing,
thrusting, straining, almost there —
oh no — heart attack

Adam from Boynton Beach, FL:

Vamp sex is macabre.
Or maybe it’s ma-cab-re.
Either way, it’s hot.

“Zombie Viagra!
Better than rigor mortis!”
(…I’ll miss Billy Mays.)

Frances from Bloomington, IN:

Mildewed skin and bones,
Slick with rot. Once dead, we rise
Again together.

Inness from San Luis Obispo, CA:

Dry rasping leaves curl,
Arching above chill gravestones
As we do, trembling.

Itziar from Spain:

May I bite your throat,
suck your blood, so red and sweet,
lick your frozen toes?

Shyra from New Orleans, LA:

I am not afraid
Baby, when you wear that mask
Come on, make me scream!

Leslie from Monrovia, CA:

Long curls pleasure masks
Tying each appendage down
Her witch comes to him
