The horse was affright
as fires of Hades scorched it.
Hypnos rides tonight.
*Hypnos is a Greek god of the Underworld.

My haiku was inspired by FlyTrapMan’s mesmerizing microfilm,
Dead Things: The Bridge Between Life and Death. Watch and enjoy it below!
A MicroFilm by FTM Moving Pictures
Would you cross this bridge
not knowing what lies in wait
on the other side?

Go, Hypnos! This describes my Saturday morning perfectly. Hope you’re having a good one. I was dragged to the underworld to sleep off the exhaustion of the previous week. I only dreamed of finishing some painting projects.

Lol! Saturday is looking pretty good here. I’m sorry you haven’t finished your projects, but I’m sure you’ll have those completed soon. Sounds like you kept Hypnos company; he is the god of sleep 😉 Thanks for visiting!!

Ah, it’s a zombie horse! I was confused since it was referred as a “dead” horse in the film. I thought it was like someone saying, “Oooh, now you’re dead!” — as in, “I’m going to kill you.” Sorry, I’m quite slow.

Well….technically it was a dead horse. Kind of. There aren’t any zombies in the film mythology…just different varieties of dead things, haha.
The question is…who owned the dead horse? I think someone is going to be very upset….

So the Lord of Hell still rides a horse! I thought he would would have switched over to a helicopter by now. maybe it is an occasional pleasure ride.The picture and the haiku go very well ..but the Lord has chosen to be invisible.

Wish I knew enough about music to do a mashup of St-Saens’ *Danse Macabre* and the short passage from Rossini’s *Wm Tell Overture* that will be forever associated with the Lone Ranger.
