By 7th-Grade Poet Sophia Bottine
This past week, Sophia and her baguettes were the hit of the Entrepreneur Fair. When it comes to literature, however, she’s drawn to something a little less wholesome than bread.
I chose Count Dracula from Dracula as my favorite villain because I think that he is a very good villain for my type of poems. I love dark, creepy stories, and Dracula is one of my favorites. Dracula is a part of a very good movie and book by Bram Stoker called Dracula. I think that everyone should know the story–especially since Dracula is inspired by a real historical figure named Vlad the Impaler.
Count Dracula,
Dark, bloodthirsty, unforgiving,
A vampire, worthy of his title.
Slithering through the night,
Crawling into houses,
Preying on the young
With blood, sweet and addictive
No man,
No matter how strong
Or clever,
Can escape from his clutches
You might get fooled though,
By his handsome appearance,
With his dark, slicked-back hair,
Pale, ghostly skin,
Black, emotionless eyes
And smug, condescending smirk
Everything about him pulls you in.
But don’t fall into his trap,
Because he will kill.
He will burn.
He will destroy.
He will do whatever is needed
Whatever he wants
All while laughing.
He is the mightiest,
The cleverest,
The monstrous,
An honorable King,
Count Dracula…
