Notes About The Poem

Whip-Poor-Will Assurance Andaree

Whip-poor-will, whip-poor-will, whip-poor-will all night
Security, assurance, delight
Defender of the small nest
Or out on his quest
For his mate.
Rest
What's his fate
Will he pass this test
Conquer, mate, rear a success
Life isn't easy, some fright, much delight
Whip-poor-will, whip-poor-will, whip-poor-will, all night

Andrea Dietrich Date: 4/30/2024 11:15:00 PM Sorry I couldn't give this one a win even though it was so nice. Many poets forgot to use the middle word as part of the title. I appreciate the effort you made writing on this sweet bird. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 5/1/2024 5:15:00 AM Those things happen especially as we grow older and memory fails us, Andrea. Thanks for reading it and taking time to drop by. Sara K

Valsa George Date: 4/23/2024 5:00:00 AM Like men, each bird and beast undertakes the struggle to face the challenges of life in finding a mate and guarding its nest. The Whip-poor- will seems to be your favorite bird, dear Sara. Beautifully penned poem. Login to Reply

Victor Buhagiar Date: 4/23/2024 2:05:00 AM Brilliant poem of a mother bird taking care of her nestling. Best for a win. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 4/23/2024 4:16:00 AM Thank you, Victor. Some place and some don't . Sara K

Gershon Wolf Date: 4/21/2024 5:23:00 PM Seems that you've neatly summed up all there is to know about the whip-poor-will, Sara. ~ Goo Gull Syrch Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 4/22/2024 4:56:00 AM Thank you, Gershon. I am sure that I have only touched on the information about a whip-poor-will. I guess since they are nightjars someone would have to stay up late or have cameras about to see exactly what they do. I wonder about birds and how they manage to survive in this world of uncertainty. Thanks for the visit, Gershon. Your visits are uplifting. Sara K

Sotto Poet Date: 4/21/2024 8:29:00 AM Sara, your poem so eloquently conveys the meaning of the bird's message, be it about seeking love or defending the nest. Your line structure is flawless, and the manner you've written the prologue and conclusion is superb. Thanks for your comment on my page.

Tom Woody Date: 4/20/2024 6:08:00 AM I think you must really like those little fellows, is this your second whippoorwill poem? Very nice Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 4/20/2024 6:28:00 AM Tom, I probably have written a number of these that at least mention the whip-poor-will..They say when one comes in your yard that someone's death is imminent. I don't know who will go first my husband or me. I enjoy hearing them and they have been around our home since we moved here. I like their call that I hear at evening as soon as darkness come and in the morning at about daybreak. Thanks for stopping by. Sara K
