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

Quite beauteous cicada longing for summer poem, dear Karen. I miss summer too when the temperature dips into the twenties, and the wind is harsh. You're a very talented poetess. All the best. ~

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.

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.

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
