Blog #2: Poem


I will be using Vampires as my topic since I love vampires and sometimes wish to be one(just kidding!!). I googled poems about vampires and found this website: http://www.elftown.com/_Vampire%20poetry . I used the picture from

I chosed the poem "Wingbeats from a High Balcony" because it is represents a vampire as a bat in the night. He searches for a victim to be bitten in the night and make him feel stronger.
He is also described in this poem as a creature of the night, since vampires come out only during the night and sleep during the day. Same thing with the bat. He uses his fangs as a weapon to suck blood from his victims and sometimes make them immortal as he is. He makes them as he is, the creature of the night. He will be searching for his bride, whoever it might be. A vampire is a creature that looks into the night and sometimes cannot be spotted quickly by a human eye. He can smell human flesh from a mile away and if he is hungry, he will be stalking you. Vampires are not also smart and intelligent, they are also fast and strong. They are double of what is called human speed.
People would seemed to realize vampires that they are around them, but not for long; people would see them and seconds later, they will disappear, without being seen or spotted. They will turn into bats and fly into the night. During the day, you actually can't see them since they will be recharging from the night before. They will be in their coffins, sleeping, like the dead would be until they're reborn again. People would never think of vampires as people; actually, they would be a creatures that are not understood by the society. That's why most of them hide beyond reaches of humans, which are abandoned churches, empty cemeteries, rooftops and other places where they can be safe.
The poem also talks about a man or a woman getting bitten by a vampire and what they felt while being bitten. They experience it as cold, fearing and something strange. Vampires have no life since they are immortal, and they can be doing everything they want in their life. Life for them is everything. They fly, bite by using their fangs, and make the other people into the wings of night. Vampires can also make people forget about what has happen to them, their own memories of a specific date and also changing their identity.
