Cicadas

Suffocating heat
Cicadas deafen my ears
Soundtrack to summer.

Cicadas are not common where I live, but crickets drive me crazy. This is a wonderful haiku.

Thank you so much for that wonderful comment, Angela. Cicadas can almost be deafening when they get fully going in the gum trees on a hot summers day. And sometimes you'll think there's a very gentle rain falling but it is really the cicadas doing a wee - I do love the Australian bush! Best wishes, Paul.
