Bats in the Belfry

For a contest about what animal are you

I am the bat that hangs around,
and gets about by aid of sound.

I flap my arms to scare the dawn,
and through the day just stretch and yawn.

I have a hate for all things light,
and much prefere the shadowed night.

I love the music of Nocturne,
and dawn chorus I frequenet spurn.

So remember this when you seek me,
you'll find my friends in my belfry.

Hope this fits the contest requirements

Bats..ughhh, I've seen so many of these as a child growin up in an old house. This poem almost makes me feel somewhat bonded to them....or maybe I feel sorry for these nasty little creatures. They are just misunderstood I think. jk :)

This is so very cute! I love it! Good luck in the contest. Keep on penning.

I hope it does well in the contest as well, certainly well crafted enough that it should do well

Love the flow and rhyme scheme, very nicely written

Your rhyme cadence is familiar... like I know this style before. I mean, like I know you for years. It's wonderfully penned, "I flap my arms to scare the dawn, and through the day just stretch and yawn..." Wich creature are you? for REAL? ;)
