A Cold Dark Night

This poem was done without using the letter e anywhere in it. A cold dark night Chips off hard rain On my car mirror Long is this night Dark as sin Don't stay out this night All stay in and out of harm Rays of light show with morning dawn Kava I will drink with lights ray Not all I do will show In first hours of the dawn Guard fast your gifts tonight Hold fast what is yours This is a cold dark night

I did the first draft around 10 years ago on another poetry site. It's not was not easy doing a poem without the letter e. The acrostic style helps as there r not that many rules to it.
