It was a freak on a leash
who somehow got off its chain
Loose to roam about in the night
it was a ghastly sight and looked quite untamed

This was neither man nor beast
Maybe somewhere in between
Tis hard to say just what it was
But to say the least, it looked rather mean
and I think it wanted blood

Flying amid thickened-fog air
Its skin was ashen-white and leathery-coarse
Dark piercing eyes generated an icy stare
How does one defend against this evil force?

One hard line formed its gruesome lips
Then it showed its sharp-dagger teeth
A slithering hand extended forth with razor-nail fingertips
A freak for certain off its leash

It was all so depressing
I needed a chance to think
I though of stringing garlic around my neck
but, E-gads~ that would stink!

Perhaps a cross would do the trick?
or a stake to push thru~ its heart
OMG~ this ordeal was making me sick
'Twas this a Vampire I had to ward off?

Just then i woke up from this hellish nightmare
Whew! I felt such a relief
To think a Freaky Vamp almost killed me there
When in reality the Freak is on its leash

or is IT?

Poems do not contain OMG or abbreviation (example: Vamp) in them. It was very interesting, other than that. Thank you for entering my contest! :)

PLEASE keep that freaky monster on a leash! LOL Really a perfect write for this time of year. Would hate to look out my window and see one of those things flying across my harvest moon! Great job.
