Once again, a Haiku with a sense of humor. Bats are virtually extinct here, due to the extermination of insects and end of farming, but of course we had the little gray kind...

    Fun to throw rocks at, and watch 'em circle the rock, studying it.

Hi Dean - this is an excellent haiku and a worthy entry to the book. Lines one and two interconnect perfectly and your satori is very good and very clever with its double meaning. Well done - warm regards Dorothy x How lucky to find that picture - but then you always do..................

This one is really different from most of the responses to the challenge. It could also be one of your "horror Haiku" LOL. Clear imagery in your first two lines with a good aha moment in the satori. Well done, my friend

This work has reached the exceptional level

Wow! So much in so little. Just like a perfect haiku should be.
Love the humor also in this one. Really nailed it well, just like the old vile vampire bat!

A frog in the throat would give anyone reason to be hoarse, but in the case of the bat - hope he doesn't choke. I like the double meaning here. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Dean, This one haiku I understand. I like your image of the dead of the night in line 1 as I have been there more and more now a days. It is sooos quiet. So the dead beats the meaning of quiet. Your creativity is splendid with the bat's throat got bulged out from trying to get that slimy frog down so it can't squeak anymore maybe it got choked on line 2. I learn new linking ideas from you each time. Interesting take on the bat/frog. I guess frog better learn to camouflage better to survive from these vile vampire. Oh yes, your nice alliteration v is wicked. Regards, cumulus

    No, they most certainly are not nice, Christine. But then, the animals I choose to write my haiku about rarely are, LOL.

Great read.

Hi Dean,

I got a good chuckle off of your satori line... a frog in his throat lol
This is clearly a well thought out piece. I especially enjoyed your author's notes and your sense of humor.

Nice job!

Kim
