Not a usual genre for me but this is a very well written and wonderfully rhymed bit of work! your poem should be the intro to a book or something-teens and young adults would really go for this.

Well crafted and interesting story in a poem format.

Various strong rhymes help tell the tale of what the vampire craves.

Open ending leaves wonder about if she stayed or left.

I thought this was such a lovely poem. The love of a vampire for his undead queen is so different from the normal vampire poems. You've written a rhyming poem, that is an excellent contest entry, well done and good luck! :)) Sandra xx

That's chilling, Lance! It's a beautiful, dark read full of great imagery. There were no errors or need for change. I enjoyed this line the most:
Though blood sustains, it's Love I need.
An interesting take on the undead, and a popular one right now. :)
Very well done! Good luck in the contest.
Blessings,
Deb

Great storytelling, good juxtaposition of fear and grace. I enjoyed the premise of a vampire with a past, with regrets, and perhaps a bit of his soul still intact. I always love rhyme. - Wendy

This is really quite an erotic piece that invokes the traditional undead mythology of the vampire in a poem about sexual desire, and the physical possession by the lover of the object of his affections. Despite the admitted lack of metre, the poem poses a rhythm of its own.

A bloodily delightful vampire poem (pun intended). Loved your imagery, visuals; the vocabulary used and your creativity.

You are mortal and so wonder why?
True, with one errant kiss; you'll die.

A very enjoyable write which, I am sure, will do very well in the contest; good luck in the booths.

Hi Lance. This is different. I like the way you constructed this poetry with a lotx of strong verbs pushing it forward.

"Do you feel it creeping up your back
Your heart pounds fearing attack"

Regretably, Lance, I have used all of my sixes today. Sorry, I cannot believe I don't have one for this wonderful effort. Bob

Hello, my friend,

I love your vampire live story. I am a big fan of the Dracula story and movies. I like the presentation very much. Your vampire seems torn between his blood meal or the love of his life. :) Well done!
