(Raise Your Voice) Bat in the Window (a poem)

Raise Your Voice

Bat in the Window

Written August 6th, 2011

Frantic flitter flutter

Bang crash on the glass

Scared and hungry, breath stutters

The exhaustion is utter

Strange faces in the window

Big frightening loud

Oh! Wow! Ew!

Safe on the other side

From this hideous spectacle

She didn’t mean to get stuck in here

Her fuel is fading fast

The food she needs on the flipside of the glass

Not one life on the line but two

A tiny helpless infant waits at home

For a meal it can’t get on its own

Oh, a bat! A bat!

Do you want to see a bat?

Ew, would you look at that!

A bat!

Shadow Wings (a poem)

Shadow Wings

Written April 16th, 2011

The sun slips down below

The moon is on the rise

Stars appear, one by one

Twinkling from way up high

As darkness fall, shadows take wing

Filling up the sky

Built for the night

Silent in flight

Speaking in echoes

With sensitive ears to see

What their eyes can’t

Children of the dark
