Sunlight’s Sanctuary

Sunlight’s Sanctuary

The sun is gone and soon the darkness will be here.
It brings with it the things that men have most to fear.

The ghouls and demons of the darkest night come out.
They shriek; they moan; they scream and cry and fly about.

Their presence causes anguish and a deep dismay.
And causes mortal men to cross themselves and pray.

But soon the sky begins to have a rosy glow
And fiendish voices fill the air with cries of woe.

The darkness yields and sunbeams dance across the sky.
The creatures cringe and flee before the sun is high.

The sunlight gleams the way it has each day before
And so, the world of mortal men is safe once more.


A "Grossblank" poem has 12 lines of 12 syllables each, iambic hexameter, unrhymed, any format.

Iambic hexameter is twelve syllables per line, written as follows:
x = unstressed syllable
/ = stressed syllable
x / x / x / x / x / x /
12 syllables, unstressed syllable followed by stressed syllable.

(I guess that means this is a rhymed Grossblank poem.)
