Great imagery, and some awesome word choices in there. :)

Good poem! I love the short stanza especially-"The night begins a lullaby/ of wind and hushed whispers/ and she sleeps at last." It almost feels like a poem in itself. I thought that the line "than the moon ever ever could" would be strengthened if you left out the second "ever". Other than that, great job!

i appreciate the personification of the dark, and the structure in which you break between the dark creeping, and the lullaby. not too shabby
