Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Whippoorwill

The whippoorwill sings softly to me
From darkness of night, the bird I can’t see
Singing goodnight daily, from trees to sky
It has clearly made its home nearby

Peacefully it calls to me and rests my heart
I close my eyes to its song, until we part
The restful melody concludes my day
So, perfectly as I listen, I’ve nothing more to say

Judy Ball June 29, 2021 at 3:59 PM This reminds me of the ties (I sat contentedly on my grandmother's porch listening to the bobwhites and whippoorwills in the evening, I sure do miss that. Good write. God Bless, JB Heidi Sands June 30, 2021 at 4:30 AM Oh, that is nice Judy. Thank you for your input. God Bless :)

Sara Kendrick June 23, 2021 at 6:39 AM I do enjoy hearing them but since we got double paned windows I can't hear them as much and of course I think my hearing is not as good anymore. I enjoyed your work regarding them. They are an elusive bird. Thanks for dropping by my page. Sara Heidi Sands June 23, 2021 at 12:17 PM Yes they are. Thank you Sara and you are welcome :)

Tom Cunningham June 20, 2021 at 10:54 AM Nothing beats the sweet sound of birdsong Heidi, must Google the sound as we don't have them in the uk. Hope your Sunday is going well. Tom Heidi Sands June 20, 2021 at 10:56 AM Exactly Tom. Many are singing out there today, but this one sings at night. I hope that you can hear the sound on line. Thank you. Have a great day :)
