Daver Austin Poet Free verse

NEWS FLASH

“Look out for vampires!
For sure they’re very charming
I’d say disarming
Don’t look into their eyes
Or you’re in for a surprise!

Don’t think they are sweet
They think you are something to eat
Their eyes are like fire
Burn with erotic desire
Look out for vampires!

Are there defenses?
They say    wear a garlic clove
Garlic they don’t love
Or    fire a silver bullet
Sorry    that is full-of-it!

Carve a wooden stake
Drive it deep into the heart
The soul will depart
You have to catch them asleep
But don’t let your cell-phone beep

Vampires hate the sun
It melts their skin    that aint no fun
They sleep in a dark box
Fully clothed    plus shoes and sox
Let's all keep a vampire watch

Carolyn Devonshire July 21, 2011 at 2:54 PM Hilarious, Daver! So if I wear garlic and stay in the sun, I can avoid meeting vampires?? (I think the silver bullet only works with werewolves. LOL) Very witty write! Love, Carolyn

Michelle Mac Donald July 20, 2011 at 7:33 AM Oh, I love garlic, but there has been an upsurge on the popularity of vampires. I've no wooden stake, but I could always give one a whack with a wooden spoon? Another fun and entertaining write, Daver!! Wishing you and yours the best! Love, Mikki

Caroline Cécile Delacroix July 15, 2011 at 5:32 PM yep, what or who lives in the dark cannot stand or live in the light. That is enough to be wary of such. Nice and fun write! Thanks for sharing and thank you for your congratulatory comments on my featured poem. Best wishes, Caroline.
