Fear of the dark

Sometimes the night is black as pitch
like darkest satin, soft and rich
no moon to show a golden glow
just stars to twinkle and bewitch

A time when all we know gives way
and all our darkest fears betray
the child that lives in all of us
who frightened, waits for break of day

No...Not a lovers night for sure
perhaps a ghost or two to lure
who float about in mournful pose
a nightly walk they must endure



For the contest "Night-Dark-Black-Happy-Sad"

    Like nursery rhyme, the poem is very sweet to recite, talk more of the literary aspect of it with clear images of the dark...... I love it, because I can write more point on it.
