Hello, this is a villanelle style poem that I wrote during my poetry unit in Creative Writing. Hope you enjoy:)

The Dangers of the Night

Don’t go missing in the night, 
But if you do always return by day, 
Otherwise it will cause a plight. 

Ignore those who invite,
You inside to stay, 
Don’t go missing in the night.

Watch out for those who bite,
Run home if you don’t feel okay,
Otherwise it will cause a plight.

Hide from those who delight,
Watching your body decay,
Don’t go missing in the night

Remember to always fight,
To keep those away,
Otherwise it will cause a plight.

Stay in the light,
Watch out for those who betray,
Don’t go missing in the night,
Otherwise it will cause a plight.
