Crimson NIght

the blood moon rides high
tiny winged creatures dart about in the black sky
distant screams cut into the night
small yellow blinking eyes shed eerie light
they come cloaked in shifting shadows
nothing of them is seen even in the moon's crimson glow
they are blood thirsty and blood hungry
claws and fangs make hunting soon to get bloody
like mist they come without a sound
they are here and no one knows they're around
they hunt the living for their life essence
they're in your room before you're aware of their presence
they kill and they kill some more
spilling blood puts them on the bloody sea's shore
there they lap and suck and lap for hours
killing many and increasing their own powers
the moon shields them and shadows conceal
they hunt the night too dead to feel
but the pain of hunger drives them on and on
to ease that pain they come creeping like mist across your lawn

This is very impressive and sinister. The imagery in this comes alive in the full bloom of horror. Very creepy and chill creating. This is true horror and I love it. I can actually see in my mind's eye the vampires creeping desperate like across the lawn in their hunger to destroy. I don't see them as friendly or very cuddly, more like nightmares up from the grave!

For some reason I though of a canary
A canary flying around and killing others. Wow to me. This was really good had a disturbing mood. I quite enjoyed it. I really think you could have worked a little bit with the spacingh but otherwise this was really nice :)

Wow, this is very creepy and ominous. I can just see the vampires creeping across a mist shrouded lawn on their way to a house to feast on the inhabitants. A great horror poem. Love the spooky imagery in this!

spectacular. The imagery, the athmosphere and the mood it gave off was really good. The imagery truly added fright. This poem was filled with a great sense of horror. Great piece.

A very well written creepy horror poem! I can just seem them creeping across the lawn of my house, all thin and hungry with death in their eyes. Very effective poem.
