Vampire

Venetian blinds shuttered
Vivacious lust a fix
Veins throb crimson allure
Visceral dread repels
Victorian specter
Vexing savoir-faire lure
Vampire's bloodletting

Thank you, sweet Andrea! I've entered around 6 of his Pleiades contests and yet have I been chosen, S.V. made me realize when she said I should have won on Piano, I trust her judgement. Perhaps the sponsor chooses to drag his personal business in judging. You're all I need! ;D

This one is brilliant, especially your use of the letter V....vivacious lust a fix.... so correct, their lust for blood... its the toxic vampires I worry about to be honest, trying to suck my energy.. have a few around sadly.. I stay away from them..

Hi beautiful soul i find vampire tales so interesting and fun to read and i must say you’ve done this form so effortlessly in a creative manner using such sumptuous diction that fits the vampire theme so eloquently! I love the 3rd and last line and every line too how you’ve painted imagery so vividly is so impressive. Goodluck for the contest

Brilliant Pleiades, Anaya. Great emotions on a vampire. I am not following contest but having seen another, I'm supposing this is for a contest. If so, best for a win.

Dear Anaya, your verse is expressed with verve! Your vexing vampire is brought to life with vibrant imagery and great V word choices. I adore the old world feeling to your pleiades. "Venician blinds shuttered" Perfetto! Also “Victorian specter” and the use of the French word “savoir-faire”. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Susan, old world feeling precisely what I wished to capture. I've been in the mood as you can tell in my "Piano" Pleiades! Thank you, I am delighted you enjoyed the vampire vibe! lol :D
