A Strange Encounter

 

What was that sound I heard

Come from under my bed?

 

It was light,

Yet moving rapidly?

It almost sounded

Like it was flying.

 

It seems to be fumbling,

Because I just heard

It thump into the wall.

 

OOh! Oh my,

It keeps thumping

Into the wall,

Like it can't see.

 

MMMM,

I'm afraid to look,

My head is safely tucked 

Under the covers.

This house is really old,

No telling what the hell it could be.

Hardly anyone ever sleeps,

In this room anymore.

 

I'm going to

ignore it.

It's nothing.

I'll go back

 to sleep.

Maybe count a few sheep.

Make my to do

list for tomorrow.

 

This is silllllly!

It's probably a wasp

Or a butterfly or

A fly-something.

 

Eeeeeeeeeeek!

Hoooly Heeellll!

It hit my head!

I'm looking back,

As I run for cover in 

Safety of the bathroom,

With my blanket wrapped

Around me, like a cape!

 

Oh Lord,

Everyone is asleep,

I can't wake them up.

How could they

Sleep through that!

 

I muster up

The courage,

To run back,

And turn the

Light switch on.

Or I could be in

This bathroom forever.

 

Boohoo Shiiiit!  Holy S**t!

It's a baaaaaaaat!

 

 

I leave to go sleep,

In the safety of my car,

With my blanket covering

Me like a cape,

Free from bat dreams.

 

Author's Note

A true story about my Mom last year, sleeping in a room in my Uncle's house that's rarely slept in. If only I could have been a fly on that wall!

Shame on you bats are harmless little creatures You should have let it out the window

[M Garcia]

I love the picture and the peom. It would be a bit frightening or at least disconcerting if this were to happen.

[Tina Kline]

This is rather amusing, I love it! It reminds me when a bat got in my parents house and they finally managed to get a bed sheet over it and took it outside and let the bat go. And that took hours of chasing the bat from one end of the house to the other!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

WOW a true story... must have drove her batty... pun aside at first it reminded me of how our imaginations can go overboard when all is too quite and we have time to much time to think, but a bat... I cringe thinking bout it.

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

I thought this poem was a bit cute. It was scary, but
still wouldnt disturb children. (which is nice)

It reminds me of the time when the tree branch outside
my window at night was a witch on a broomstick. lol
