This By Day, That By Night

Dry, dirty, dilapidated buildings by day
Become suspicious, spooky shanties at night.
Daytime woods are filled with cute, cuddly creatures,
Yet at night they're forests filled with ferocious fiends of foul intent.
By day the moon is hidden half a hemisphere away
But shines marvelous, mellow moonbeams at midnight.
Invisible entities that revolve around our world by day,
Provide a panorama of planetary beings parading across the cosmos at night.

This is an extraordinary write my friend! I really enjoyed the creativity you put into this poem! It does seem to be true that things are different during the day than they are at night! I'm not sure which is better, but I do enjoy the differences between the two! You've done awesomely with this write Tanya! Great Work!!
