Dracula Poem by Bryony Sheldon
Dracula
Hiding and haunting
He rushes me in the night
Scalding and scorching
Hellfires are burning bright
Gutting and gashing
Reopening all my wounds
Fighting and thrashing
Quickly the darkness consumes
Skulking and stalking
In the shadows of my mind
Maiming and mauling
Cut free the terror inside
Pulsing and pounding
My heart spits and seethes and sears
Howling and hounding
I'm skewered with guilt and fear
Excellent selection of verbs to accelerate and deepen the scenery of this poem and its metaphor. This is one powerful poem made more powerful by the judicious use of Alliteration. 10++++++++++++++ and onto fav list
Sounds like a real encounter with the devil's favourite demon - Dracula. Really an insightful creation written in persuasive expressions with conviction. A witty work of art. Thanks for sharing, Sheldon.
