Sun-Drunk Cicada Song
The golden haze of summer, thick and slow, Where time dissolves like honey in warm tea, And fireflies ignite a gentle glow. The air, a velvet cloak, starts to flow free, Through sun warmed fields, a gentle choir, Where time dissolves like honey in warm tea, A drowsy heat, where colors grow like fire, Like painted dreams, upon a canvas clear, Through sun...

Premium Member The new cicada trend
Awakening early mornings with an eerie sound, as cicadas start calling, emerging from the ground. These harmless insects shed their exoskeletons, leaving evidence of cycle changes for every one. In their once timely appearance you could have placed stock, due to their biological alarm clock. Now with global warming and the earth heating up, cicadas are coming more frequently to mate and...

Premium Member Cicada Comeback
I am no where near that great Cicada comback moment. Much like a comet, or the invasion of Grenada, I'll have to watch a YouTube vid to asertain the gist of it; why so short lived, why so loud?

Premium Member The Cicada Rumble
It's been a long time since the cicadas rumbled. History books say 'twas eighteen hundred and three When war struck the trees where bees sometimes bumbled. The seventeen and thirteen boys couldn't agree. The horror of those days can't be told in rhyme, But that war to end wars, we may again see. I tell you children that it's once again...

Cicada Dreaming: Where have the cicadas gone? 2021
Cicada Dreaming was told to Roland Robinson in 1965 by Julia Charles of the Yoocum Yoocum clans from the area around Wollumbin in the headwaters of the Tweed River, Northern NSW and is used with permission. Tiny Dreamtime children, imprisoned in the earth, pierce the little tree roots to sip sap beneath the dirt. For...

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...

Make all of those hearts that are filled with hate, be forced to hibernate and reappear after seventeen years.. They could get it right or remain out of sight in the dirt they could persevere. Just like a cicada, we would say see you later, until their hearts became soft and dear.....
