Good Morning, Cleo. Welcome to http://www/writing.com. Checked your bio, noting in a realm as to meet & greet you today --- Noting: Cleo ---already you posted three items since joining on FEB 23. WOW!! Just this week! Well, way to go there. Sometimes we call that type of writing energy ... burning the midnight oil. Guessing previously prepared, right? A very good thing in any new venture, of course.
Of your poem: DARIUS THORN, where you indicate this is about a character from a novel you are striving to construct. Now, the name Thorn is a bit catchy. While as we know (and perhaps agree) out here in Critic Land, well chosen names and titles are most apt to gather readers to one's online portfolio available onsite.
Since, TEFFY (That's Me! teffom@writing.com) has in the past dabbled in vampire genre. Thus, this poem clocks in as appealing. You give the fellow in question old clothes, he's thin, comes off as rather eerie (etc) One reads here of sharp teeth, waiting for the vampire to find his true love ... ??? Yes, can see that this is a character analysis with future pen-to-paper thoughts in mind. Best good luck there. And of course, as it is, when we research vampire stories, once sequestered inside horror genre, but nowadays, a complete genre all their own .. we see the silly, lifelike vampire, the everyday Joe who infiltrates, and then the side of vampire genre as you put it .. for vampire hunters. In this line from DARIUS THORN --- oh let me find the spot ... ah yes ... " ... a vampire no hunter can every slay ..."
Goodness, now I feel scared. But then I always have to save myself, especially living in this neighborhood ... with "I don't really believe in vampires."
Okay, betwixt you and me, and other readers of PRP (Public Rev Page or Public Rev Cenral, (PRC) Cleo dear? Do you think that maybe after vampire research that possibly these vampire creatures (as tie to your content & poetry item's introduction) could actually ONLY be fictional in origin? Lastly, author-to-author hints from TEFF indicate over the last few years that this is a possibility.
