When this 12-year old girl handed in her Zombie Haiku as homework, she wasn't expecting to get into trouble over it... but that's what happened. It seems the educational system still can't recognize brilliance. Read for yourself:

Zombie Haiku
by Miss Tuesday Cain

Murder of the mind,
...all the zombies will have died.
Blood will fall like rain.

While I designed this for her, I would prefer any credit go to Miss Tuesday Cain. It's her poem and it's her story. Get the word out on this one. This isn't trouble, this is talent. My design is licensed under a CC BY-SA 3.0 license, so feel free to blog it, modify it or otherwise get it online where others who love individuality, creativity and/or zombies can help do the same.

Just remember: No biting! (unless you're already a zombie)

BTW, if you help spread this online, please leave links in the comments. No pressure, but I'd love to show her how others have stepped in and how she's been vindicated where our educational system failed her.

Update: There is also a lively discussion thread on this poem hosted by Ziki [Here on deviantART]

Was the theme 'zombie' given by the teacher?

I am two-degrees separate from Tuesday, so I'm not actually sure what the theme was. If I had to guess, it would be a basic introduction to haiku--the traditional elements, syllable-structure, etc... and then testing for a grasp of these concepts. But, again, that's a guess. I doubt that the theme, if there was a theme, was 'zombie' (even though that wouldn't be a surprise here in Austin, Texas).

Hmm. Still she did have 'zombie' in the second line, so it should have been kind of obvious what she was talking about. I'm betting she got in trouble most for the last line. It's kinda 'scary'.

My thoughts coming right out of your keyboard. Right there with you! I think a lot of us can relate to this situation, and it's about time that someone told the system that attacking arts that fall outside of the mainstream is not at all acceptable.

its perfect..... the 'rain' part even references a nature theme (like all traditional haiku), but reinterprets it for the given topic... genius :omg::)

And she managed to make the "rain" in the last line rhyme with her last name, extending the poem by inference. I didn't even catch that part until later.
