You have a lovely haiku, Susan! The line "incessant male mating choir" is especially creative. Hugs, Carolyn

I want you to know that even though your poem didn't get a placement in the contest, it's a fine poem. I like it even better now than when first I read it. (btw, mine didn't place either, and I still think it's a good one). Sometimes, it's just that the contest and the poem are not quite in sync somehow. Anyway, you and I move on, one step closer to our next winners! All the best always, gw

:) Thanks. You're so sweet. After reading a few winners, I wondered if I even entered the right contest, totally missed the whole point of this contest lol, but darn it is a good haiku :) Thanks for being so thoughtful.

Anything involving cicadas appeals to me, Susan, and so does this! As yet no cicadas in my garden, but once they come I have that choir going at it on a daily basis:) Regards // paul

What a melody of a Haiku, dear Susan! In Greece the symphony never ends during summer! Superb!
