Notes About The Poem

LOCUST'S LULLABY

LOCUST'S LULLABY
just something light I wrote last night while sitting on our back porch.  The sound of the locusts in the background was soothing....

twilight hush descends
soothing serenade begins
locust's lullaby

their tiny wings beat
rhythmic symphony quite sweet
one played just for you

Valsa George July 17, 2025 at 10:42 PM Beautiful haiku. I too love listening to the soothing serenade of crickets and cicadas. I feel the image you have shown is that of a cicada and not of a locust. The personal note at the end is so endearing.
