October 5 - Dracula
Too shy for sunshine
Pitiful monstrosity
Haunting my closet
Well done! I love this idea!
In the darkest night,
Fog holds a sauve gentleman,
Seeking bite to eat.
Ooo, love this imagery!
"Bloody good time..." bloody excellent!
My effort:

Age crept up on me
still a spritely five centuries
young, still had it all...
...my teeth, my coffin home,
pied-a-terre in Old London Town -
but savings ran out!
Scrabble in solitude,
begging for pints here and there,
they call me Draculazy
I love this! I can hear Bela Lugosi narrating🖤 Draculazy? Draculawesome!
I plant garlic rows
If he dares to come for me
A silver cross works too
Awesome! Great use of the lore🖤
Thank you for the like
A night on the town
Stalking deep in the shadows
In search for dinner
Ooo nice, a very well set scene, excellent!
Come in for a kiss…
Around my neck, there’s a cross
You’ll bite kryptonite!
Ha! So good! I love the internal rhyme in the last line, too!
Transylvanian Romanian
Had a short claim to fame
But a big stake in his heart.
Genius! Such a clever one!

Caldura, the home
Where bodies rest, cold and still—
Dracula awaits.
ꌱ
At Caldura’s gate,
Blood runs deep beneath the stone,
The Count never sleeps.
ꍭ
Caldura’s name twists,
Reversed, it hides his true face,
Dracula reborn.
ꎋ
Behind Caldura,
The dead find no peace inside,
Dracula feeds there.
ꐡ
Caldura’s dark grounds,
Graves open beneath the moon,
The undead arise.
ꐶ
Within its cold walls,
The living do not suspect—
They walk among death.
ꐾ
Caldura’s secret,
Hidden in shadows so deep,
Is whispered at night.
ꆟ
Funeral by day,
By night it serves a dark king,
Blood echoes the walls.
ꂷ
This is so beautifully dark, I love it 🖤
"Listen to them....the children of the night....what MUSIC they make...."
Love this quote 🖤
The book had me Stoked
Better than all the movies

😂I see what you did there!
Trying a different format here: a Shadorma (3/5/3/3/7/5 syllable poem)
Lord of blood
with fangs like canines
but no fear
from my mind:
my love for garlic in meals
will render him dead
Oh cool! This is a new form for me, I love it! Love the humor here, too! Horror and comedy go so well together 🖤
While my tastes may range
From pagan to catholic
I do not drink…wine
Mmm.. mysterious🩸
Wallachian lord,
Bane of the Turk, Impaler,
Striking fear in foes.
Hey nice! The actual Vlad! Pretty fascinating character in his own right.
Yes! Another favorite. Thanks for making such great prompts for Spooky Season!
"bloody bitch"
That's a nice double meaning!😉😂
😏
Undead blood sucker
Rotten form, soulless creature
Eternal disgust
This is just dripping contempt, I love it🖤
