1-3 GRADE RUNNER UP
Night
By Mary Claire Kastenhuber
The night
emerges,
So quiet it is,
Morning waits to come.
Like a cheetah waiting to pounce.
The wolves
start to howl,
The wind takes a breath,
The stars twinkle in the sea of black above.
The moon
and stars are a gift to night,
Night is the king of all darkness,
As day is the queen of light.
