Author's Note: I got hit by a spark of inspiration and I've been very much in a horror mood lately, I wanted to write something spooky so I wrote up a little vampire-themed poem based on the vampire lore of my novels (specifically Blood of Mars), where vampirism is spread through blood-red rain that falls from the sky, afflicting victims with a terrible virus called Endzeit (literally German for end time) that not only alters their bodies, but their minds as well, leading to often gruesome outcomes...
I had this idea for a while, and I wanted to use the pattern of the classic "ring around the rosie" children's rhyme as a base, since this poem is all about a widespread vampiric pestilence, and some attribute the original nursery rhyme to being related to the Black Plague. I struggled at some parts but overall I think it came out okay, might change it up later if I think of something better. The poem being in all lowercase is also a stylistic choice.

we all fall down
ring around the rosie pocket full of posies ashes, ashes we all fall down
skies plagued by clouds are blotting red blood is surely clotting raindrops, raindrops they all fall down
the moon is surely rising in pain they are all writhing thirsty, thirsty they all fall down
at night they hunt for someone fangs stab the necks of loved ones piercing, piercing, they all fall down
in death they kiss so deeply the blood, it tastes so sweetly draining, draining they all fall down
