The Daily Haiku

A world of five - seven - five. At one time daily, now kind of sporadic.

This week's theme: Blood Letting

Countess Bathory
Bathed in the blood of virgins
Many girls slaughtered

She believed their blood
Would bring her eternal youth
So she killed and killed

(Eventually the King of Hungary ordered an investigation, her servants were found as accomplices and executed. The Countess was put under house arrest and she died insane.)

The Hooters once sang ...
You can't get blood from a stone.
Nervous Night cd.
