They're almost unbearable in town with my sensitivities, with all the hard surfaces. But in the country... a heavenly rhapsody. ;), xomo!

Simply wonderful Maureen. As a kid when I'd hear a cicada on a hot day I always thought it was the sound of the sun's sizzling heat. This poem is great!!! (A side note: when I scrolled down to validate this comment the letters were TSA lol)

Ah another twist of words lol I wasn't even thinking these thought but it certainly ties the title in tighter. I was thinking of dog day afternoons, but if he is getting the gals and the guys, he must also be getting himself, being "solo" lol.

The cicadas by the lake had so much more talent than the city bugs, this one in particular, serenading wooing more than just the girl bugs. ;),

Thinking with a scattered bomb run, you seem to hit the target exactly. Point your bow and arrow and let loose to fly.

This one rocks! We used to listen to them at twilight as a soft purple haze floated down when they used to hang out all along the watchtower. It was quite the experience. : )

Thank you my friend! I love the sound, but in town with my noise sensitivities they've been a bit much... In the woods though, a riveting treat. I fell in love with a bug. ;),
