Urban Dracula

 
They dress all in black
eyeliner favors a tire track
lipstick of ebony too
some are into voodoo
Draconian is their soul group
a reptilian troop
some say they're evil
I just conceive them primeval

They have been known to heal
a secret they do reveal
they're from Thuban
a constellation fusion
leather and spikes
tattoos and motorbikes
magic some conjures
feasting with rongeurs

They're into death metal
though some are versatile
they'll be seen on Halloween night
they'll certainly deliver you a fright

That is the most awesome one I have read about Dracula's! I could easy imagine seeing, what u where describing! What a great way to express the thrill, feel and imagination, during the season! U have a very unique style that leaves us readers in the moment, in which u imagine it, and share it in a poem! Unbelievable! Sounds like a good screen play for a thriller!

If you can't win them, join them. Mighty scary bunch though. Terrifying poem. ~~

Rather than be frightened, I may join them and run away. They sort of intrigue me. This was a terrific penning!
