Dancing Demons

A poem I wrote one night as a teenager that was inspired by a psycho bat flying in to my room and the crazy process it took to get the poor guy out. Edit: Written at 13. I am now 29.

When the sun is gone and day is done,

the fun has only just begun.

With the day retreats the light,

and soon the demons all take flight.

Past my window they beat their wings,

and oh what sorrowful songs they sing.

The sweet melodies fill my mind,

and soon their stories begin to unwind.

Tales unfold of the broken heart,

but before it does the dancing starts.

Round and round they circle the moon,

and soon they begin to enter my room.

In and out they fly at will,

with a great and unmatched skill.

And all trought the night I lay and listen,

all the while the moonlight glistens.

But all good thing must come to an end,

and soon the light begins to bend.

Beautiful dark gives way to light,

and so ends this glorious night.

I stare and sigh at the rising sun,

as it banishes my fun.

And then a single bat flies by,

a singluar demon in the sky.

He hums his tune loud and clear,

as if to tell me do not fear.

For when the sun is gone and day is done,

the fun will have only just begun.

Author's Note

I have been tweaking this sine I was 13. I mean it was two days ago I FINALLY settled on a good title for it. And I'm 28 now. So feel free to point things out (without being mean lol) because there's always a chance I haven't seen it since I know the piece so well.

I think it's lovely to present these creatures in a playful way.
The usually get such a bad rap!

I could not agree with you more.

It is cute and fun. I like it. It makes me think about Halloween not being very far away.

I'd freak out if a bat came into my room. I've been told that if you leave a window open and make a loud noise they'll flee, although I don't know if that's true or not.

The poem is fine. You might want to put a space somewhere to break it up a bit, but regardless, a fine poem. Welcome to the site. :-)

Thanks :) Yeah it's from way back when so I just kept a bar of text going down the side as my signature lack of excitement about formatting to begin with. I should probably fix that like.. now lol.

[LastSkywalker]

[Relic]
