When the Whip-Poor-Will Sang

Sara--this is very good. There's a bit of irony here. I believe we have lost a lot. I often think of the ancient Greeks looking at the stars all night long. Now, we're lucky if we can see a few. Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated.

Sara, I reread your poem to try to get the hidden meaning that LYnette is speaking of. Hmmm, all i can think is that it is about your husband and the passing of the years. . . ? I kind of got that the first time. but then I also was putting my own feelings onto the poem, of how quiet life used to be long ago!! well, time to call it a DAY here. Thanks for your great comments today. Luv, Andrea

Wow, using "voices once in tune" for what it used to be.this is art in writing<: and geez, that must have been annoying for you, but it's kind of funny that he still knew you, like he is trying to be funny but at the same time he's not.hah.wonderful poems, expecially with the hidden meaning. -Always Lynette

That is very interesting, Sara, very perceptive, how you mentioned, "how in tune were OUR voices" when he sang. Yes, we are all out of tune these days, listeing to much to noises of traffic, cell phones, loud music, etc. Enjoying simple nature is key. Great poem! Luv, Andrea

Thank you Sara for your nice comments. oh what we give up for comfort. I have to have an oxygen machine going at night or I forget to breathe. And it's really noisy. It sounds like it's storming out at all times. Love, Joyce
