Flappy Bat

Flappy Bat

Flappy bat, flapping at Halloween bonfires great,
Have you caught any moth fluttering to its fate?

Witches’ stakes – grave mistakes – summon your swooping grace.
Might your shape be escape, masked by a devil’s face?

Pointy wings, echoings, guide your nocturnal flight
Past the hills, sweeping chills with your form by moonlight.
