Woodpeckers and coffins in Southern Black dialect lore
A vivid dialect piece describes a Woodpecker as a feared figure who taps at coffin boards, with local beliefs attributing hauntings to daid birds. It blends folklore with a quoted narrator and shifts into a literary aside praising Samuel Ellsworth Kiser’s Love Sonnets of an Office Boy as a contemporary witty verse collection.
