I Wish I Could Be a Bat

I Wish I Could Be A Bat It’s a thrilling thing to watch The bats fly out of the caves At twilight. Their dawn of day and play To cover the land At twilight. Look up at their silhouettes On the pink and orange sunset At twilight. Just about as happy as it gets, This murmur of love and freedom, At twilight. I wish that I could be A bat flying free from my dark cave, Into the light, just once At twilight.

Bats have bad reputations, whether true or not. I like their fox-like faces that's all. I've written many humorous poems about these nocturnal creatures. Many thanks for stopping by. Best to you in your writing endeavors. / M

Like your idea of flying free like a bat out of darkness into light. 7 I wrote something a bat a while back. In childhood I was much afraid of them from how they look. Peace, Love and Joy.

That is a very cool thought and twilight is the perfect time of day. They are amazing creatures and a beautiful sight on the evening sky. Nicely done.
