Excellent poem Sylvia, I learn something here today. I definitely will think of bats in a different light now. Thankyou for sharing this information through a very well written poem Sylvia.---Melvina---
Super Sylvia. I want one! Im back, hope to write another poem since yesterday and get going again. Lisa
I too love the thought of these small creatures, infact we should all try and do our best to see them in a better light Very well written and very well said Sylvia Love duncan X
I like bats, they are amazing creatures, and this poem about them is lovely. I wasn't aware of their gargantuan appetites though - they wouldn't find much in my pocket-sized garden! I have to agree with Sandra - you have your very own style. Always a 'must' to read your poetry, Sylvie. Love, Fran xxx
What a wonderful story, Sylvia. You have such a unique style. You are one of poemhunter's finest contributors. Love, From your sister and friend, Sandra
What a batty tale Sylvia. I know they are sweet creatures, but they do make one shiver when the swoop around in the dark. Lovely subject. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
What a charming tale...and certainly a new way to look at bats! Now, if I can just keep them out of my belfry! ! Well done!
good work! I find myself not liking bats much however...they fly a little too near for me
