Out of the belfry
bats fly high
searching for blood
in the nigh
A recent murder
a smell of fresh blood
a corpse is lying
in the mud
Spirit leaving the body
calling the bats by name
demanding vengeance
on the one to blame
One bat drinks blood
following the scent
catching the murderer
answering the lament
Murderer is tortured
as the bat feeds on him
refusing to repent
his future is grim
Death finally comes
on Halloween night
spirit eternally roams the Earth
tormenting all with fright

This takes bats in the belfry to a whole another level.
In October, it is better to keep bats on the radar.
Keep friends close, especially if one is a reviver.
This is some mighty fine macabre you shared, Madam.
P.S. ~ Palindromes are fun.
