Disguised

Dracula is alive Disguised as another Darkness swirls around us Danger may be lurking Do not get distracted Dare to get acquainted Death by a nibbled neck Jan Allison 27th April 2014 Written for Nette Onclaud’s Lets Pleiades contest – Theme Masquerade ~ awarded 6th place ~

Gosh I'd forgotten all about this poem Cynthia - its amazing to think since I started writing in February last year I've posted over 460 poems on my page and about 30 poems with my wonderful writing partner Darren Watson under the name Jadazzle United - sadly Darren is not well at the moment so writing together is on hold for the moment - I miss him more and more every day:-( Hugs jan x

Can't believe it Casarah - 4th poem posted today - got inspired by the contests thought I'd give them a go and get out of my 'comfort zone' have never tried a pleiades before - had to google it lol. Hugs Jan xxx

I really like how you did your entry. Dracula screams out for D's alliteration!! By the way, are we required to only use the word Masquerade as our title? wish i knew!!

Thanks Andrea - no idea on the title it is not clear from the rules. I took the definition for masquerade to be 'in disguise' so I hope the poem is acceptable - never tried a pleiades before so am happy with my effort and am learning all the time - its my 4th post tonight! - 5th poem written but its a bit 'cheeky' so may leave it a while and consider posting lol.
