Question for the poetry buffs here on Hatrack:

In high school I read a poem called "A Whipperwhirl in the Woods." Although I can't remember who wrote it or much of the content I do remember it was one of my favorite poems because of its evocative imagery and melancholy, almost creepy, prose. Does anybody know where I could track down a copy of this poem? I've tried Googling it everyway possible but I just can't seem to find it.

If you ever have the rack ILLORWW in scrabble, look to see if HIPPO is on the board with one space in front and six spaces after.

I'm just sayin'.

Wow! Thanks for the speedy answers. I thought I might be remembering the name of the bird wrong... I still love that poem.
