seems like it would be good for a informative children book of animal poetry. you should do some more animals (like the misunderstood bat, such as Spiders and Snakes Crows, ETC.) this is very very well thought, not cliche in any way. you can almost see an adorable fruit bat munching on nectarines as you read it. market it to children 3-9 years old, the words are just amazing for building a strong vocabulary. not even simple rhymes, the rhymes are multiple syllable tongue twisters almost haha!
thank you for sharing ! :)

I finished reading the original "Dracula" this summer, and I now understand why these poor creatures have become so feared and maligned. I like how you worked in the "person" of the bat in the second stanza. The rhythm of the poem is fluttery, like a bat in flight.

I enjoyed this, clever and edjucational. Made me laugh to boot.

great way to convey facts through poetry. shows that bats don't want to eat humans. we shouldn't feel afraid to see many of them upside down because they won't harm you. perhaps it is us who have the dark mentality because we subscribe to the pervasive opinions of these poor creatures.

oh wow, I love the depth in this.

...simply amazing

Sibilant echoes
and darker than the shadows -
bring unreasoned fear!

Your near perfect Haiku struck
chords inside and then lingered.
