freshly turned earth
violated graveyard
ghoulish feast

This was an attempt to move away from the 5-7-5 pattern of haiku or speculative haiku.  I'm not sure it has enough of a "turn" to be a strong spec. haiku, but I still think it's a neat little poem.

With spring planting on the way, the first line seemed very appropriate for the season.  It could almost be a poem about spring planting, until you get to the second line, that is.
