Comment from Bill Schott
This two-line poem, Whippoorwills, has the proper formatting and places the singing bird in the darkness with the local waterway providing inspiration for its call.

hear them all the time when they are around.

in the last line as it croons trills."

Whippoorwills do enjoy crooning at night. Trilling by a rilling brook would be thrilling to hear! Love the play on words here. Nice entry for the contest.

Wow! This just sings and rolls along in two line poetry. A masterful offering with internal and external rhymes per the requirements. Beautiful offering in super short verse poetry.
Sending you my best today as always, and my very best for the contest.

I can remember from the days of my youth when we would often hear the Whippoorwill singing in the early morning light and I always enjoyed the sound. May you have a wonderful day? I enjoyed your two line poem very much and it is very well written.

Melissa,
Nicely done with rhymes and alliteration. Your selected illustration portrays the bird at night. The bird song comes in many varieties. Where is the crooner Perry Como in our memory banks? My Mom's was, of course, Frank Sinatra!
LOL

Haha, I love the old crooners and Bing Crosby is my fave! To me, his voice was the smoothest... Michael Buble is a close second!! Thanks so much, Mark!!

Not a brdy person here, Melissa.
So I have no idea what the devil a whipporwill is, and you had me on rills until I read your authors notes.
Even so, the poem has a nice rhythm to it, I can almost hear the birds call in its simple two line composition.
