Description Midnight.

Silent as the witching hour
A bat flutters

Tiny, glistening eyes
Dart
  back
    and
      forth...

Fragile,
Leathery wings
Beating
up down up down
rhythm
rhythm
rhythm

Fangs
Almost miniscule
Glimmer in the moonlight

Bats are awesome. ^_^ I like how you have each word in "darting back and forth" on a separate line - it really gives the feel of movement.
