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 This poem for Van Helsing's "Toothy" contest

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

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

Hi Dave. Actually Evermore is a place I named many years a go - a place along the Bay of Funduy - It is brathtakingly beautiful and etched on my soul forever. Also, Chapter 3 and four are almost complete - sorry for the delay - life just seems to get the way. So how is all with you - hope life is treating you good. yf4l. Lainie

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.

toothy contest?? you are too much, Daver!!! Now you are gonna have everyone fooled into thinking there is a toothy contest. This was KEEN, my friend. Very suitable for the times. Do you happen to see True Blood? Now there's a vampire tale to sink your fangs into!!
