Outrageous Rumor

Darla Cooke on Jul 17, 2009

Are you what people are accusing you of being?

There is an outrageous rumor going around.

One about you being an inhuman monster.

People say you feed on human blood,

but I’m hoping that is only gossip.

Still you have the weird habit,

of prowling in old graveyards at night.

Trouble seems to follow you,

for you have the skill of finding it.

I also find it very strange,

how you vanish at early dawn.

Are you really a vampire,

like all my friends are saying?

Was it a mere a dream, since it vanishes at the early dawn?
Nice poem, but there is a little bit of an element of horror.Thank you.

Mmm, scary. I’d say you’ve got a vampire there, Darla. Get that stake through his heart—quick!

Hi there!
