Fine rhyming quatrains, Dean. Perfect structure throughout.

Lots of good technique in this stanza. Let's look at it:

Deep demon's sleep, eternal hell,
1.alliteration: Deep demons
2. 'e' assonance: Deep demon's sleep
3. 'l' consonance: sleep eternal hell

ferocious fiery eyes--a spell--
4. alliteration: ferocious fiery
5. continued 'l' consonance: spell

Cast on your weak and mortal soul,
6. 'e' assonance continued
7. more 'l' consonance: moral soul

you'll have to stay, but long to go
8. continued 'l' consonance: you'll/ long

And, Dean, that was only one stanza. LOL.

You rocked this! Best of luck in the contest!

You've got great audio visual support for your creepy poem. It is well written with good rhythm and good descriptive language which builds a picture of foreboding evil.

This is a bit creepy indeed. I must say that I am creeped. LOL. Good poem, good flow. It probably wasn't a good idea to read it when I'm about to go back to sleep. :P lets hope my dream catcher isn't too full. Good work. ~ Rose

    I seem to scare all mine away so it's good to always be making new ones
reply by the author on 26-Oct-2013
    Hah, well, you would be hard pressed to scare me away. I also took your advice and changed Creeper. Look at it now, let me know if you like it better...

Yes, I do believe you've hit writing prompts target. Very creepy. I don't think even Buffy would atempt your vampire's castle. Good structure on the poem and perfect presitation.

Hi Mystery Poet

Hmmm ... I can't imagine whose entry this is??? Blind I am ..... lol never-the-less, even without the identification of presentation, your poem would be outstanding. Love it and no six for you unfortunately. Love the wind effect. Pure genius you are Dean. Allit., consonance and assonance, enjambment ... all the exciting poetic techniques.... as per usual. :)))

Well you've scared me to death .... I think I'm having a heart attack right now ... your fault ...


Meter and rhyme are perfect. Dare I say? Good luck in the contest. Now I'm off to check the other entries ..... though I have stopped breathing. :)))

PERFECT!! Hugs - Lovi xoxoxoox
