The Night

by ForeverASickKid   Jul 21, 2008


The night
Is oh so dark
The only light is from the stars
By day the sun shines through
By night, none
By day the birds chirp
By night the vultures seek food
By day the child is taken
By night she is killed and buried
By day she is found
By night the family grieves
By day the killer is caught
By night the trial is lost
By day he is taken from his cell
By the stroke of midnight
He is the receiver of a similar fate
DEATH

    A very nice poem, but as mentioned before I think the structure could've been better without the repetition. Still though I really like it and I think you've done a pretty good job. Keep it up.

    I like this, it's unique and has quite impressive vocabulary.
    The only thing it needs is punctuation at the end of the lines, so then instead of DEATH in capitals at the end, it can be "Death.", it'll make it more effective.
    5/5

    This was okay, I didn't really like the repitition of "by".. but it was a pretty good poem. Good write, nonetheless. Keep it up. 5/5.
