Vampire Life-style - I don't know how literally you intend the confession of being a vampire? It could be real or it could be a metaphor. Either way it shows an extreme commitment to a nocturnal life-style. You convey the lure of night life, which doesn't take vampirism to be successful; the night is a setting with its own secrets and delights and heightening of experience. I consciously kept rock rhythms in my mind as I read, because music is an integral part of your poem. It has the liberating quality which we adopt under its spell.

This poem comes out of an old hippy rock tune of mine with some cute variations. I wrote the tune in the fall of 1970 and still sing it occassionally. The Rocky Horror picture show had a bit of influence on the Vampire ending. It is simply a wild weekend type of madness. Thanks for reading! ! Greetings, Paul
