the sound of the moon

this is just a deppressing poem about wanting to escape the city. :(

the moon is out, the night is near
the sky is still blue clear
but i begin to quake in fear
i'd really rather not be here

the moon is out, the world is dark
untill on the neon lights spark
the songs of the street, a tone deaf lark
as drunkards stumble through the park

the moon is out, but the day is nigh
high pitch squeels of police sirens cry
to clean up the nights wreckge, they try
then sunlight fills the starless sky

the moon is gone
and i must try
to move along
and not to cry
I could sing a better song
to say im fine would be a lie
I want to leave the drunken throng
another day for my soul to die

the moon is out, but i'm far from there
an owls hoot, the cry of a deer
are the sounds that welcome me here
theres nothing else i want to hear
and nothing else i shall
because, finnally
i have escaped
i wish...

This poem is beautiful, I loved it! The imagery, I could see the moon, and the dark of night and such...
Very good :) I did really like it
(Thank you for your lovely review on my poem by the way!)
And Sound of the Moon is different from Sound of the Shell, I think you can keep it

Very good, good rhymes, imagery, and topic. Dont worry, you didnt plagiarize, keep it. A lot of people get inspiration from music and other literature.
