If you know a little vampire history, you know that Count Dracula was inspired in part by the infamous ruler and "impaler" (of people), Vlad Dracula ... as well as the stories of vampirism associated with that region of the world (Romania).
Now, whether Vlad was simply living in a different era and his cruelty was justified by the times and his foes, I'll leave that up to you dear reader. But in the meantime, a simple vampire sketch inspired the first lines of this poem, and the rest quickly followed. So, meant as a mere amusement, I give you my 1-minute video poem, "Dear Old Wicked Vlad."
