Here's my two cents, y'all:

The harsh light flees from sight,
My vision slowly fades;
I can no longer fight;
Pernicious comes the night.

OK, have it it, oh Critics ... please clean up the scraps when you're done ...

Hunts up the word pernicious in her dictionary...oh, yeah...okay. Wow star...although the syllable count, meter and rhyme are very well done, I think your last line is going to be interesting to repeat throughout, anxous to see what you do with this one.

This is going to be good ... course I could be biased, cause I have already seen the finished work!

This is the darkest thing you have ever written, my friend ... it is gratifying to see you exploring the shadowy recesses of your soul ... expanding your horizons, so to speak ...

I can't think of a thing to critque on this! Now the first time I read it, I stumbled...but that's just due to my extremely clumsy brain.
Cool..can't wait to see how you finish this.

Hoot: I'll leave you in suspense no longer...I will post the finished product soon!

Nocht: I didn't know I had it in me to write something like this...but I like the way it came out...maybe I have needed to write something this dark for a long time. Thank you my friend.

Satiate: I'm glad it turned out as well as it did...I was afraid to try this at first...but once I got a topic it became so easy.

I'm so glad thus far of my fellow "class" members like this...I look forward to the rest of the replies. Finished piece will be posted as soon as I can type it!

So I'm commenting on the quatrain and you're finished already - Need some busy work so you don't disrupt the class??

No Nan I promise I'll be good...it took me a while to come up with my quatrain, but as soon as I had that done my poem just flowed out after it...I love it when that happens!
