A mosquito once cried
Why do you all always
Clap your hands
Whenever you see any of us
Some of you buy chemicals
To get rid of us
When you all know we're harmless and homeless.
An insecticide
Screamed from a corner
You're big liar
You blood sucking vampires
Not just that
You also go around
Spreading diseases; eg malaria.
A human replied
You're a pest
Whoever you stick
With your stylets
Becomes sick
Whenever I'm about to sleep
You always come
Disrupting my peace of mind
With your irrelevant songs
Making a lot of noise while I try to sleep.
beautiful, on the face of mine
when you will make a plea,
in an language only we speak
you hint me to meet by the lake
you walk through the woods
with an lantern in one hand
to jumping into my arms
when we meet at the lake
bats flying across the dead sky
and haunted mansion that whispers our song
may we be the vampires tonight
who stray without any care
Have you ever experienced the energy being drained out of a room, when someone unknown, enters?
You may have met one!

Some mystics say:
Lower vibrational beings feed off humanity's pain and anguish.
What a feast they must have when they see a new resident of their invisible, Heartbreak Hotel.
Salute.

*I wrote this poem on January 8, 2024, as part of a ’30 days of poetry’ January challenge. This was day 8 and the prompt was:Write a mnemonic poem to remember the zodiac signs.
In shadows they linger, draining light's hue,
Emotional vampires, consuming what's you.
Halloween wigmaker had a ghoulish garish way
inventing unique creations that made vampire’s day
how about a new wig made from an amputated head?
In a few hours it would smell bad the wigmaker said.
What if you used doll heads? The vampire suggested.
If you bring me the dolls, so the vampire invested.
People on the street yelled, kicked, gagged and screamed.
It made the Halloween better than anyone had ever dreamed.
It’s in the head
The voices no one heard
The screams and yelling of millions nerd
Dragging bodies soak in blood on the ground
The disgust only my heart could feel in dread
Illusionary images on wall like pictures in frame
Voices echoing from inside and outside
It is absorbing yet intense
Broken veins loosing blood to parasite
Dead humans lying in stack
Like chopstick
As heart begin to race and breath is lost
I begin to doubt
If it’s the day of reckoning
When all dead
With or without soul come to life
And bodies’ line in pack
But how do I make my head and heart be in agreement
To the creation of my false thinking
duskfall creature,
tipsy on the blood of the covenant,
tell me, when did you pull the ninth card?
when your fangs grew in
and your eyes grew tired,
what made you build the castle walls?
the sunlight burns, you protest,
every silver-backed mirror a reminder to forget.
close the books, put down your stakes,
because the real world doesn’t work like that, creature of the night.
shame hasn’t cured the illness.
you paint a picture of their stares in the back of your eyelids
etch their whispers into the corners of your mind,
bear the weight of their crosses.
duskfall creature,
drunkenly playing the hermit,
why do you push the wooden stake against your own chest?
For the Beauty Pageant
Her selling front teeth,
Whose absence is a myth
For a smile with intent,
Yoga is the breath
While you bare their breadth
Their extraction kills the sweet
In indulgent kiss,
Keeping them white a feat
To one who wouldn’t a tooth miss.
Also useful to vampires
And their reprehensible agents
Assuredly stretching their empires
And vile occult regents'.
For whomever Satan hires
For the incisive very urgent,
As decisive as live wires,
Blood corpuscles the emergent.
Locked in the frost,
Halloween seems like a gatepost,
Fantasies turn into a permafrost,
Pumpkins next to the doorpost,
Vampires at the rearmost,
Ghosts at the bedpost,
Wolves at the aftmost,
Midnight clocking the midmost...
Sunrise cleansing the defrost.
(to a blues riff)
You're a blood red girl
You're a blood red girl
You're a blood red girl, you're a woodshed girl,
You're a good good girl.
You're a good good girl
You're a good good girl
You're a blood red girl, you're a woodshed girl
You're a good good girl.
You're a bloodshed girl
You're a bloodshed girl
You're a spit-curl girl, roller derby girl
You're a good good girl.

Halloween is here!
But have no fear!
This is my guide so you survive.
Beware the graveyards full of ghosts and ghouls.
The graveyard is where you will see zombies feasting.
Stay in the light, form large groups, don't be fools.
Beware the alleys vampires hang about usually toff.
One look in their eyes and… boo! You're paralyzed.
Carry holy water, garlic and a cross, it fights them off.
Beware the skies alien abductions!
Butt probes, clench cheeks, hopefully you stay breathing.
This one's unavoidable good luck, maybe try some ruction?
Beware they pull you in with sweet smells, and words, it’s bewitchery.
It's diabolical, witches plans with humans hypnotized.
Show some cautionary there's lots of trickery.
Halloween is here!
But have no fear!
Follow this guide and you will survive.
