DARK Nursery Rhyme A-N-D Eye Rhyme

In shadows deep, where moonlight creeps,
A nursery rhyming darkness, secrets it keeps.
Cradle of night, where shadows play,
Sing a lullaby of the dark, they say.

Beneath the boughs of twisted trees,
Echoes the hush, a chilling tease.
Lay the babe, in the crib of the night,
A lullaby whispered, a phantom's delight.

Stars above, in their silent rhyme,
Witness the dance of darkness, sublime.
Nursery of nightmares, in slumber's trance,
A realm of whispers, a macabre dance.

Enter the contest, where shadows rhyme,
In the realm of darkness, it's nursery time.
