Bats in My Head

I got the idea for this sitting in my bed with the pen in my hand in the dark.

The Bats in my head

The wings flutter when one flies

They move through the night

And open my eyes

 

Are they vampire bats?

Do they transform in the night?

I laugh, no they don't

In fact, the bats show me light

 

Instead of biting my neck

And sucking out my life

They give me ideas to write

They relieve me of strife

 

Everyone has their dreams

And their thoughts

I have these bats

That relieve me from Writer's Distraught

Author's Note

An odd poem. But it's true. You can see a lot of weird things in the dark. Lol

YES, one can for sure, see weird things in the night!! Shoot sometimes we can see odd things in the daylight. "Bats in my Head" caught my attention; reminding me of a sentence a roommate of mine squeeled one night as she climbed into the top bunk of our dorm room. "OH NO, BATS!!" was the line she told me BATS were outside our window along the edge of the roof. I of course said it wasn't bats to many folks moving about during the day and night the bats wouldn't fnd it a quiet place to sleep. Sure enough the next morning on our way to breakfast we looked for the "bats" and decided it was just leaves that had been blow into and stuck the gutters or perhaps the birds and squirrels were stashing the leaves? Least looking the following morning convinced her there were no BATS outside our window. Fun to read! Thanks for sharing!! Sallie Bear

Nothing wrong with 'odd' at all. The strangest of things can get one's pen moving.
As long as it's moving, it's creating. Praise Be To God for sending Bats as inspiration!
Why not, right? I like this! And hey....thanks for friend request!

Pretty interesting the way you see bats. It flowed nicely, but in some places the rhythm was a little off, so try keeping a beat in your head to go along with the words to help with that. Overall this was pretty good. Keep it up! :D
