Thy soul shall dwell in

shadowed depths, upon thy first

taste of mine own blood...

    Describes Lestat so well!!!

  • C. Rommial Butler4 months ago

    Well-wrought! Of Anne Rice's characters, Lestat was the most engaging.

    the pic already tells the tale.

  • Ooh I loved that! Right away gave me the full picture, great use of language!

  • Aarish4 months ago

    Your use of archaic diction and minimalist structure creates a haunting blend of reverence and dread. It’s reminiscent of classic vampire literature distilled into pure essence.

    Vampirism...it never grows old. Lovely

    Well done on the haiku, Lamar. Great story by Anne, too. Not as good as the one that started the whole series, but still good. <3

    I have yet to read Anne Rice's novels, but my mom LOVED her books, and she had me watch Queen of the Damned and Interview with the Vampire (both of which, admittedly, I loved). Lestat truly is the Brat Prince, as they say in the books. This haiku is a chilling complement to his character and to vampires overall. Excellent job!

    Chilling. I used to love the vampire stories. But this is a great haiku, Lamar!

  • I feel like I am the vampire.. did you sweat blood to write this?? did I drink it in?? . i feel like i am in the shadows... oh no!!...

  • Yes, the monster of all. A sharp one, literally, Lamar!
