Originally wrote this for the final day of Weretober last year which is both Halloween and we’rebat themed. As such here’s this poem about the werebats which lurk and stalk from the stalactites. Originally I posted this a week late but this time around it’s about two and a half weeks early. Originally posted in November 2023.

Over here is their self made home

 

They come from all over to join this colony&nbsp;

 

Nestling into whatever place they can find among the ceiling of stone

 

They are bats who might have once been men&nbsp;

 

Or perhaps even other more bizarre things

 

To them it’s matters very little

 

What they were back then

 

Caring more about adding new colony members and flying on their mighty wings

 

At night that is when they go on the prowl&nbsp;

 

For in the day they sleep and unlike wolves

 

Were or otherwise they don’t warn or signal with something like a howl&nbsp;

 

They don’t hunt humans though&nbsp;

 

Preferring other foods so from that concern you’re free

 

But be aware that they’re very protective of their territory&nbsp;

 

If you’re aware you’ll recognize them by their squeaks and oddly shaped noses&nbsp;

 

If you miss those signs however you’re at the mercy at whatever they and fate proposes&nbsp;

 

Still I wouldn’t worry too much&nbsp;

 

They prefer to remain creatures of mystery that just want to be left alone&nbsp;

 

That said there’s plenty about these werebats that’s still unpredictable and unknown&nbsp;

 

They’ll know plenty about you though if your paths become crossed&nbsp;

 

So be wary around them for it’s easy for them to consider you lost&nbsp;

 

And when that happens your fate and the colony’s will certainly become intercrossed&nbsp;
