Sunlight

He slammed the wooden shutters closed, And drew the blackout blind - He hated sunlight coming in. No sun of any kind! The darkened room was perfect then: So cool and right for rest. Although he had a mansion house, That bedroom was the best. He put his PJs on and smiled - His coffin looked so deep. The vampire settled down inside And soon was dead asleep.

Thanks for your comment, Jack. Believe it or not I didn't know that's why Clay became Ali. Makes sense, though. Still laughing at this poem. Love, Carolyn

A very creative write. those vampires i hate to think what would happen if they live in Seattle, where it rains a lot and sun does not shine or LA where you can't see the sun because of the smug. no only kidding. i love this one. thank you for your comment on a rose fell.

Oooh, I didn't see it coming, Jack. Some people prefer dimly lit rooms, but for a Vampire sunlight is fatal (aren't they really dead anyway?). Very cool poem, my friend. You had me going! Love, Carolyn

Lovely poem, Jack! I am just remembering a ducumentary on german TV about Dracula!! Hahaha! Did you know that in remote areas of Romania people really believe in human vampires? I think you know that Bram Stoker got his idea about Dracula from a Romania duke who was famous for being cruel. Great stuff!..Love, Gert
