Poems!!!

     Hi. This is the "really cool" post I was talking about four weeks ago:   (It's a poem)


           

The Flight Of The Bats

           The bats fly through the air, their sleek fur coats shining

          They gracefully soar down to the moths, gnats and other insects

That they call their food.

          They flip and flutter easily as though swimming.

          Oblivious to owls that might be watching and waiting,

          The bats catch their prey with ease

          Each eating more than a thousand insects.

          Swooping in and out of trees, sometimes stopping for a drink of water.

          They have waged war on the insects and are determined to win it,

          Though the insects have armies of their own; parasites.

          This terrible war stops when the sun rises

          That is the cue for the insects to go back to their hideaways,

          And for the bats to go back to their caves.

          Until the next night...
