Hey there Ine
I am a huge fan of vampires. I love the way this flowed and with such a grand rhyme scheme. It is well thought out and crafted

You did this style very well and the picture that you chose even makes this poem more real. This was a real Dracula and he was a very cruel and gory man.

I the black background with the white font. It brings out the darkness of the poem.

This is different, Ine. It doesn't sound good to be a slave 'to blood and grave', though. LOL. Well written. The ending word in every stanza rhymes. I'll have to write a minute poem sometime. :o) April

Well normally I don't care for this type of poetry, but got a good smile from it. So guess you did what was right. Thanks for sharing.

macabre but lovely and lyrical at the same time. Very easy to get into. Love the picture of the non glittery vampire. Good luck

Hi Robina
I really enjoyed this horror minute poem...very well written! Dracula would be proud, especially for that last line (my favourite),
"Though still a slave -
To blood, and grave."
I wondered about the first line a bit. My preference would be
"I woke to sky of moonlight blue", but there is absolutely nothing wrong with your version, truly worthy of six stars.
Nicely penned! The perfect poem for Halloween!
cheers
Kimbob

This is a very interesting form of poetry that I've never actually tried. I like the theme of Dracula imploring his mortal love to turn into a vampire. I love the last stanza. My only question is that since this is supposed to be in strict iambic tetrameter, what about the line:

For the LAST TIME,

This is how it reads for me. What are your thoughts?

I like. This has a slightly different flavour to what I might expect from you Ine. A very pleasant surprise - you're a poet of diverse talent. That last stanza, in particular, is really excellent.

Hugs, Av
