Night Fall

Night falls to the sound Of a whip-por-will, longing Calling to a mate Sadly there is no answer Sadly mirrowing, my life. ~~Brian Strand posey, for the Tanka me contest

Profoundly sad, because the philosophy is natural and excavates te tragedy of our common humanity. A superbly rich poem prompting deep reflections.

Nice Tanka Doris. I think there might be some whipporwills who would gladly have you take their mates...if you know what I mean. Joe

Sad but beautiful tanka, Doris. Makes me think of the Hanks Williams Jr. song about "the lonesome whippoorwill." And that other poem you posted tonight still has me laughing. Love, Carolyn
