Whip-Poor-Will
whip-poor-will
In the misty twilight
She echos his trill
Whip-poor-Will

He calls for her
Perched high on lofty pine
She faintly answers
From over yonder hill
whip-Poor-will

whip-poor-will
love calls
and the night is still

This sets a nice mood picture. i have never heard a whip-poor-will, but I know people who have and love their call.

Songbird, this is so delightful - it sounds as though we can actually hear them singing...
it's really quite amazing!

Been looking for you. How have you been? This is a beautiful poem.

I am bound by this, you see...to become Night's sole mistress, and I am jealous in my endeavours for his attention.

Oh my friend, this is a lovely haunting refrain.... Love and hugs, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning.

Glad you enjoyed and Trillium you haven't lived yet..fly south and sit on my porch, that's where I get my inspiration.
