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.
