In the darkest night,

Fog holds a sauve gentleman,

Seeking bite to eat.

I plant garlic rows

If he dares to come for me

A silver cross works too

A night on the town

Stalking deep in the shadows

In search for dinner

Come in for a kiss…

Around my neck, there’s a cross

You’ll bite kryptonite!

Transylvanian Romanian

Had a short claim to fame

But a big stake in his heart.

Prompt: Funeral Home @Miguel S.

Prompt: Dracula @Honeybloom

Caldura, the home

Where bodies rest, cold and still—

Dracula awaits.

At Caldura’s gate,

Blood runs deep beneath the stone,

The Count never sleeps.

Caldura’s name twists,

Reversed, it hides his true face,

Dracula reborn.

Behind Caldura,

The dead find no peace inside,

Dracula feeds there.

Caldura’s dark grounds,

Graves open beneath the moon,

The undead arise.

Within its cold walls,

The living do not suspect—

They walk among death.

Caldura’s secret,

Hidden in shadows so deep,

Is whispered at night.

Funeral by day,

By night it serves a dark king,

Blood echoes the walls.

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
