The Entitled

the entitled,
caught between envy and sadness
over futile choices
raised  close to the earth
sleep with the whippoorwills

Affectionately Yours

(Septet)



Amorous
thoughts soar through the blue,
to touch a heart that is true;
velvet kisses, softly set upon
the lips of mine affection's
as whippoorwills sing
Perfection...

Premium Member Thoughts

I hear them all the time
music, too
and waterfalls
thunderstorms
firecrackers
whippoorwills
sirens…..

between the lines
that separate
or join
depending on which perspective is
chosen

Premium Member MEMORY - MOUNTAINS

Ozark Mountain trails my small bare feet once knew
where whippoorwills stitched dusk with trilling song.
The hills held dusk and my dreams in shades of pine blue
and taught my heart where quiet souls belong.

             waiting for wise words
             whispering and wondering
             whippoorwills wander

Whippoorwills

The whippoorwills were singing
In sync and fine tune
But from where was this music ringing
Delivered on a spoon
Their relentless song proves they exist
But my eyes have yet to see
My ears are pleased and can't resist
They blend among the trees

Premium Member In the Dark of Night

i sent my prayers out to the wind
doubting anyone was listening
i called out to the universe
in each and every direction
'twas then I heard in echo
the likes of angel voices
midst silence of the night
the songs of whippoorwills

Darkness Falls

"In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous." Aristotle
Dusk Is a Suddeness Night sounds come forth As fireflies alight Whippoorwills seek a mate And crickets warm up their legs One star shines on the horizon Then darkness falls -the sky is alive With the billion stars of the Milky Way

Premium Member Music of the Night

In full twilight surrender.
Whippoorwills chirped as they danced.
Asteria strummed her lyre
for them; music of the night!
The newlyweds stepped out for
a romantic rendezvous
under billions of bright stars!

Premium Member A Nightmare With Long-Lasting Effects

In my worst, most surreal childhood nightmare, my little sister and I
were playing near a rain-swollen creek, in which—in a flash--she floated 
facedown, drowned. Then, already paralyzed, I was attacked by hundreds 
of loud, vengeful whippoorwills.

Even now a sound sweet to others is haunting to me~~whip poor will.

The Westward Wind

The Westward Wind

The westward wind whistled,
As it whisked wildly pass,
Weeping willow trees.

Weary eyed women watched,
As winters wayward wrath,
Wreaked havoc through its breeze.

Waffling warm winds weaving,
As wounded workers,
Walked, the winding path.

Wailing Whippoorwills whispered,
Welcoming words of warmth,  
From the westward winds aftermath!
