Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Stoker Counted

Count Dracula, the vampire, came
From the mind of Bram Stoker, who
Gave the fictional legend fame
In a novel with rave review.
Transylvania in place and time,
Where fact and fiction could both blend
In tale of a bloodthirsty crime,
Thought out by Stoker, and he penned
Bringing the Count from far away
Back to England and Stoker's home.
And made dread closer in a way,
As through shared streets the Count did roam.

A century, the Count still lives.
Stoker's gift of undead still gives.
