Alliterisen poem for Potlatch

The Whippoorwill

by damommy

I hear the whistling whippoorwill
His well-loved spot is on my window sill.
Each nighttime brought him nearer,
the panes provided him a mirror.
I never met his mate
who seemingly is too sedate
to answer with an ardent trill.

The Alliterisen (Complex and Rhyming), a form created by Udit Bhatia, is a simple seven-lined poem with a specific syllable pattern and two alliterations per line. For example: Glorious Graves, and wonderful waves. Alliteration is the succession of similar consonant sounds. They are not recognized by spelling, but rather by sounds.
