AcrosticPoem
The dying sun is leaving with the lightHigh in still air o’er the mystic hillEvening fast is changing into nightRed hued skies their bloody crimson spillEvery blade of dew-drenched night-blacked grassBends and whispers till the soft dusk singsEach wild creature breathes not till they passDragons flying high on mighty wingsRiding over darkling tower-topped TorAncient Avalon where Arthur liesGuarding He who they are waiting forOnce and future King who never diesNow when all things change and fade from sightSunset is the time of dragon flight

ClerihewClerihews have just a few simple rules: • They are four lines long. • The first and second lines rhyme with
each other, and the third and fourth lines rhyme with each other.
• The first line names a person, and the second line ends with something that rhymes with the name of the person.
• A clerihew should be funny.
