A Poem about Bats

[Julie]

Going Bats!

 

Bats in the sky

Bats in the trees

Bats called Thelma

Bats called Louise

Bats against dark skies

Bats against light

Bats in the belfry

Bats in flight

Bats are our dark cousins

Bats are a delight!

Those slinky cats are looking for a meal

Walking across our garden, looking to steal

Predators in nature, each giving life and death

Bats upside down but not holding their breath!

Sentinels of dusk, moth wings spin

Bats are so hungry, dark is their skin

As dawn sings it's song, look out little blue tits

There's bats in the air, looking for a hit!

Ultrasonic is their call, clicking off and on

I always get excited, when bats sing their songs

They are for sure, I'm reading a book about bats and go on bat watch at dusk, very exciting hearing them on the bat detector and seeing them skim across the sky

How clever and wonderful. What fascinating creatures. Xo
