Quadrille #208 – Undead to the World
Hosted by dorahak

(Instructions: Welcome to dVersian votaries of the quadrille form, a 44-word poem original to dVerse whose only requirement other than word count is that you must include the word provided – VAMPIRE.)

He walks by day,
enters by night.
His bite not to your neck,
but tears right through your heart.

Beware the one with the piercing eyes,
a gentleman, a courtier, a polished man.
‘Til the lights go out and then you meet –
your doom!

  5. How fun! You made me chuckle (although it is a serious subject). This poem is profound, elegant simplicity.

  7. A good warning that you can’t trust a guy just because he’s charming and suave.

  8. A warning to take to heart! The opening is very suave, Ami, and pulls you right in, ironically as said “vampire” does!
