I wrote a very short poem, and thought, hey, I wonder how long this could get if people collaborate on it. Let's see just how long we can get this. I just ask one thing; keep it tied to the theme of death, and have the words ‘midnight moon’ repeated with words that rhyme.
People in a room,
All of them sealed to their doom.
They will die soon,
But not before the midnight moon.
(Is there a specific rhyme scheme?)

Nope, just have the words 'midnight moon' repeated with words that rhyme. Though, it would probably be nice to have something similar to the start of the poem, and to have 'midnight moon' in the last line…. Ultimately it's up to you though!
A dark grey cloud, bringing gloom
Underneath, the midnight moon
He grins at me, and whispers "soon"
I'm glassy eyed, in my room

Nope, just have the words 'midnight moon' repeated with words that rhyme.
(So follow your original scheme? It's in AABB form. Mine is in ABBA form.)
That's fine!
I say the words and know my doom
I see the bed and know my tomb
I talk to him but don't assume
That he forgets my midnight moon

She listens to the sound so clear
And hears the gentle evening's croon
She's far too weak to hide her fear
As closer comes the midnight moon
(I am loving this! The thing here is that I don't even really write poetry, I mostly write stories, but I do appreciate poetry! My sister used to read me the poems that she'd write.)
Breaths drawn, wishes made
Bare, barely in bloom
Soft footsteps towards where she's laid
Ever still beneath the midnight moon
Others watching quietly
They know their death is coming soon
As, lying on her bed, she sees
The tranquil face of the midnight moon
(I hope this works with the others. You guys are good poets :) )
She listens to the sound so clear
And hears the gentle evening's croon
She's far too weak to hide her fear
As closer comes the midnight moon
(Shoot Dusty it's been a while)
(Shoot Dusty it's been a while)
(ahh same XD Not to distract from the poetry but I hope you're doing well)
She feels her time is coming near
And listens to the grisly tune
She clutches the one she holds so dear
Until the midnight moon
The things they crawl and search for fear
But I, me they won't come near
Tonight the weak will meet their doom
Underneath the midnight moon
For she can feel them in her mind
Aching to escape it soon
Their claws rake up and down to find
A way to see their midnight moon
The sound of death begins to play
A melody straight from the grave
A haunting, eerie, hollow tune
The song of the midnight moon
(I actually forgot about this! Great stuff!!!)
