Junior

It's in his blood.

Little Junior Dracula

Desires to surmount

His family’s gothic legacy;

Someday he’ll surely Count

 

The little sucker works so hard

From moonrise to moonset

He stokes his natural appetites ~

He’ll earn that black cape yet

 

Junior Drac is expert

In “mirroric nonreflection”

And from his coffin, practices

His midnight resurrection

 

He keeps his canines sharp as spears

He’ll do just what it takes

To someday rule Bran Castle,

No matter what the stakes

Author's Note

I can hear you all groaning at this one - I couldn't help myself!

Not living in the non-reflective shadow of your father bites.

Haha! Thanks for keeping in the spirit, Pryde!

[Lobster Goldberg]

What a great idea! I love your style!

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you so much, Lobster! Fun is a favorite Muse...

[Sami Khalil]

So funny and creative . I like how you pass Dracula's craft to the family succession of sorts. Is the son going to outdone the father? That is left to be seen for he is filling in big shoes...Bravo

[Rita L. Sev]

Good point, Sami! I'd love to see what his future holds! Thanks for the read and supportive review!

[Sami Khalil]

My pleasure. You are welcome...:)

[David Scott]

No groaning here... I'm a sucker for corny. :)
Poor little undead guy. When will he finally get his fangs?
Great start to the holloween season.

[Rita L. Sev]

Fangs come in with puberty for a vampire... LOL! Or, every time a bat hangs, a vampire gets his fangs! Thanks, David!

[Tate Morgan]

This has to be a little boy on Halloween

[Rita L. Sev]

Yep - and he's in full-vampire mode! :)

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

Haha I liked it! A little bit of humor and easiness to get us all in the Halloween spirit. This is one that could be read to children, which I kind of like.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, Sarah. I read some pieces in my classroom, and I was going to try this one out Halloween week. :)

[Lydia Shutter]

You're a talented poetic comic, and a virtuoso at taking advantage of the multiple meanings of words. This is an excellent composition. I know of thousands of 'em, they're called mosquitoes.

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! Thanks, Aethereal! I appreciate your review.
Yes, those little bloodsuckers can ruin a picnic! :)
