Sound of a Whippoorwill

Sound of a Whippoorwill

Dust dusk and dark always seems so still
Except for single sound from a whippoorwill
And bull frog beginning his croaking sound
Maybe you might even hear a hound dog.

Lightening bug's bright light began to flicker
Faster and faster and quicker and quicker
My eyes started settling in back of my head
So pretty soon surely will go to my bed.

Dark does relax as it enters the scene
And it has become quiet and also serene
After I have counted many more sheep
Eventually, finally found myself fast asleep.
