"SPU Poetry Contest #1: The Sadness Of The Night".
When the sky goes to sleep
Around the walls, streets it's darkly rays peep
It's gloomy fingers spreads evenly darkness
Thereby providing haven for hearts of blackness
The men in black takes pleasure of this
The few in white shuts the windows sills
Every kid is dragged home with a tear
All joy is cut off because of fear
Oh night, why shall you signify an end
Pain, sadness, evil you will send
Making the heart heavy to bear
When a heavy knock sounds in the ear
But still you exist at your own time
First, allowing us happily dine
Before you come claiming everything the day brought
Leaving each man to his own peculiar thought

I do like this poem. I do find that the rhyme may be constricting it a little. The third stanza was written quite well - I liked it the most.
Thanks again for participating!
