A Cricket Symphony

Out for a romantic walk Under the evening moon, We came across a street That presented a pleasant tune. The air would fill with rapture It would capture every heart, My husband and I Couldn't wait for it to start. At just the right moment The Maestro rose His baton, In melodious overture-like chirps The crickets chanted their song. They sang with tenor voices As they called out to their mates, The symphony completed As we walked on past the gate.

Hi! A while ago you posted to me:"I think my oldest son is going through that stage right now. Do you think you could invent a tonic that could cure him real fast of the werewolf syndrome? Good write. I too would like to know how old you are." I would like to inform you that I am actually only twelve years old!!! :) Thank you for your kind comment on my poetry! I love poetry, but do it in secret kind of because if kids at school knew, they'd think I was so weird! :) Anyway, thanks a lot!!!

Don't worry about the other students. I would like to see more that you write. I was impressed. I'm a teacher.
