Chronology

Chronology Another solar journey hastened by. Fading vestiges of the setting sun Handed his scepter to the moonlit sky, Signaling night's reign had begun. The ceremony was repeated, in reverse. Midnight's veil seemed hardly drawn When sounded a rooster's crowing curse. Ebony night kneeled to a golden dawn.

eight spot on lines here, good use of rhyme, and that last line is so clever and makes the poem - congrats on your win in the contest!
