day sank behind the crest
night aroused the moon
one lone bat
vagile in the dusky quiet
pitched out tiny peeps,
circled the creekside’s
willow formation
and even as I watched
braces of crepuscular bats
plural as if called by the Ark
emerged from hidings deep
gorged on the winged fare
offered on that generous night

This was beautiful. I loved the use of crepuscular here. And, the picture below seals it together as a nice package. Keep up the good work.
Have a nice day.
WOW!
I am going to go re-read now...
My mind is full of images of bats...
I like bats and love your poem and picture.
Thank you!

Oh my.......this was superb! You really nailed those five. What a talent you have, Sue!
I like the idea of 'plural as if called by the Ark'. Neat image.
Wonderful, this is wonderful. I am glad I stumbled upon this new meme. Learnt the words and the different versions to use them too, played with it myself, but comes nowhere in comparison. You write so beautifully.
what a beautiful evening that unfolds...full of movement and sound...
The poem moves well, especially the ending:
and even as I watched
braces of crepuscular bats
plural as if called by the Ark
emerged from hidings deep
gorged on the winged fare
offered on that generous night
rare to see a poem about bats! Cool!
