Count Dracula Acrostic

Coffin is where this creepy fellow sleeps Other people’s blood he likes to drink Unique teeth – shiny pointed fangs Naked necks are his tasty midnight snack Transylvania is his homeland, its soil gives him strength Darkness is his only friend he works undercover of the night Real name is Count Vladislaus Dracula Always avoids eating garlic in his food Cannot abide a sunny day Unless he has a wooden stake through his heart he cannot die Loves to shapeshift into a bat, wolf, dog or fog Alucard is his name backwards beware he’s cunningly disguised Jan Allison 29th March 2014 Written for contest ‘Be Bram Stoker for a day’ Sponsored by Darren Watson ~ Awarded 3rd place ~
