"Little Alex" (October Challenge Day 3: Bat)

 “Little Alex”


As the sun says “See ya later” 

And the sheep all head to bed,

There’s rumbling in the caverns. 

Little Alex shakes his tiny head. 


The moon has risen into the sky

As it does each and every night

And to see Alex and his family 

Fly from their caves is quite a sight. 


They fly through the sleeping forests

Using echolocation as their guide.

Searching for a tasty treat or two

To sustain them through their glide. 


The forest in the night is full

Of unique, enchanting things

But few are quite as charming

As Little Alex testing his wings.


But as each morning fades to night

So to does night give rise to day. 

It was soon time to head back home;

A halt to their nighttime play. 


But as Little Alex finds his spot, 

Nestled in his family's fuzzy pile.

He settles into a peaceful dream

That lasts for quite a while. 


And just like happened yesterday

The moon took its place in the sky

So Little Alex and his friends woke up

And did what they love the most: Fly!
