God dropped His inkwell
on the sky and called it Night;
I guess it was good.

The author's comments:
Inspired by the following verses (Genesis 1: 3-5):3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

1. Thank you for reading this and commenting. Means a lot to me. Even if there's a difference of opinions. I don't care. Thank you! 2. Yes, they have. I'm supposed to start my freshman year of college. But I might have to start in the spring semester or until next year. Long story. But thank you for asking. You, Miss Coolio.
