Gary Smith Poet Rhyme

A Cricket In a Thicket

As I idled on the grass
I heard a little cricket,
But I could not see him though,
He was somewhere in a thicket.

I found his chirping charming
An engaging chap was he,
But just where he was chirping from,
Was quite a mystery.

Yet I did not search I listened
That was quite enough for me,
He could chirp away all day
I enjoyed his company.

Sherilynn Kucharek February 23, 2019 at 9:37 AM Congratulations! This is so sweet and charming. I have to say, as much as you enjoyed his company, I have been known to rearrange furniture at 2:00 a.m. when the persistent chirping won't stop, and it echoes throughout the room! Your little guy sounds sweet! Gary Smith February 23, 2019 at 10:55 AM Thank you Sherilynn. :)
