Sleep Tight

It's Dark
No place to go
No place to hide
No place to run
When it's dark you are scared
You can't move
You can't see
But then you see it,
You see the light
You see a dot at first 
But then it's big
It's humongous
Then it disappears.
Out
Of
Sight
In
The
Darkness
Of
The
Night...

Your poem is great! I like how the rhythm changes at the end.

Yeah, I agree with Lily! I would love to hear how this sounds read aloud. It's really punchy and staccato-like, I think. Also, it reminds me of when I was afraid of the dark as a little girl, even though that was a REALLY long time ago! haha!

It is very good. Kind of spookie. I liked how you didn't rhyme with the same word all the way through.
