Vampire

Victims who venture late
Veins - its hunger, won’t sate
Verger’s bible - so what?
Veiled by his long cloak - not
Viewed in mirrors - well, yes
Vanquished by light - re-guess
Vrykolakas - awake

Thanks, Andrea. To be honest I had never heard of Vrykolakas until I googled vampire related V words… then I had to make each line the polar opposite of what it had been. So be it!
