Creepy Poetry Counts, Too

Hey, it's National Haiku Writing Month! John! Quick! GET ME THE CREEPIEST CAKES YOU CAN FIND!
[shuffling virtual photographs]
Right.
LET'S DO THIS.
still life of swift death
or delicious iced dessert
cooler heads prevail
buttercream bunions
metaphoric masterpiece
wedding with cold feet
expressive beach tree
dawning realization
calls for a face palm
The hottest new trend:
flaming baby shower cakes
Welcome to hell, B.
Down where it's wetter
Clearly not all that better
Ariel impaled
drowning our sorrows
won't call for giant tampons
and please hold the jam
From 'death do us part'
to avant-garde home decor
Rough divorce, Carol?
Thanks to Karin K., Kate J., Charlene L., Stephanie S., Kristen O., Evelyn D., & Myra F. for making us all count on our fingers. (Admit it; you totally did!)

What does the fox say?
Haiku, haiku, haiku, ha,
Haiku, Haiku Joy!
Professional cakes....
What the hell were they thinking?
These damage my brain.
If you're here today
You must attempt a haiku
I think some will be more successful than others will be
Cold deer and cold feet
Though sculpted in cool frosting
Do not warm my heart
While the hell-fire cake
Is too hot for a welcome
and leaves me quite cold

And finally, for Flounder there:
Humuhumunu-
kunukuapua'a
Pig-nose trigger fish

Bold fuchsia statement
A shell of his former self
Happy now, Carol?
A giant tampon??? I am scared to find out what sort of party this was for if not for someone's first period lol. Wow my mind is lost at the moment trying to figure out what the heck happened to Arielle. Ah wreckerators never fail to give me a good laugh.
@Seabird - a translator's haiku: well done!
As for the cakes, I presume Brielle's is Devil's Food?
I like the colors on the last one.
