Karen Jones Poet Rhyme

Cicada Song

Honeysuckle hazel breeze
Blowing through my mind's trees
Despite outside with winter freeze
In my heart that's blasphemy

Sunny smiles and heated red touch
Stay a while and fall in lavender love 
Jack frost lost his sex appeal
Fireplace warm with toasty teal thrill

Summer songs are our escape
The sing a longs so fun to play
Critters that creep we fascinate
Soon they sleep but we stay awake

Cicada song so wild and absurd
In our home where summer's preferred
Eyes surprised by spying song bird
Never denied inside poetic word

Eve Roper December 15, 2023 at 6:33 PM I was reading that cicadas come from the ground. During those months they come out they are very loud. Then they leave their shell all over. Enjoyed reading. Thank you for sharing this lovely poem. May you have a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year. Hugs my friend. Karen Jones December 15, 2023 at 7:15 PM Hugs back Eve and may your Christmas and New Year be blessed.

Sotto Poet December 15, 2023 at 6:30 AM With a masterful depiction, you have painted a vivid portrait of the cicada song so wild, the biting chill in the air, and the radiant sunlight that graces the scene. Winter has made its grand entrance. Karen Jones December 15, 2023 at 7:43 AM Thanks for reading dear.

Tom Cunningham December 15, 2023 at 1:21 AM I can put up with the critters as long as it's warm, I used to love winter but as you get older it loses its appeal lol. Tom Karen Jones December 15, 2023 at 4:54 AM I know. The cold now makes me ache lol. Thanks for stopping by Tom.
