Be Bram Stoker For a Day

High winds - stirring sea - surf pounds - Whitby beach

Storm clouds - residual - seagulls - frantic cry

Midnight - a figure - in view - ascending

Bowed down - wearily - cliff steps - Abbey bound

Skywards - waning moon - purple - in streaking

Figure - looking down - last time - hesitates

Cliffside - beckoning - then moves - in seeing

A flash - lightening - from grave - arising

Hungry - Dracula - no escape - figure froze

Exposed - vulnerable - a scream - was stifled

No-one - witnessing - horror - stricken face

Could, would  - testify - to what - next took place.
