Return of the Katydids
Scratched music of hillbilly washboards From the scraping wings of the Katydids Aloft in the Oaks Reborn each night just beyond dusk After the cicadas finish their warmup act The Katydid return is glorious Their little sound so loud It overwhelms The alarms of main street stores a block over And the roar of trucks on damnable nearby I-96 That never stops its pipeline of...

My heart beats in my ear I hear my happiness I hear my fear This steady sound is like a drum And is beating now so I hum To the beat of my brain Seems music is no strain Did I choose it or it chose me Like the sound of dancing feet The sound of love in a voice Furry and soft colorful...

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...

Masquerade
A colourful array of falsehoods Intricately designed disguises Fools, fortunes, phantoms Masks clinging on their faces Lives hidden away by an illusory veils Veils that cannot be removed Cannot be seen Secrets tucked away in their eyes Each a pair of stained glass windows that peer into their essence A glassy marble home for their soul that if I looked into too...

Throughout the day of torrid heat As twilight draws its curtain down Cicadas make music pulsing beat Melody of summer throbbing sound. Together chorus of seasonal refrain Resonance through midnight air When summer rain soaks their domain Insects will hide who knows where. Where do they shelter from downpour? Crawl under green leaf it's not forever Music is silent sun is the cure With patience,...

The buzzes I hear coming from next door Cause this old man's blood pressure to soar After they waited seventeen long years Time for the summer cicadas is here Shrill chirping voices do not bring me cheer Loud scissoring buzzing makes me crazy Searching for love, they sure are not lazy By midday I am completely exhausted My brain is befuddled, think it's...

Cicadas
For 17 long years they stay In limbo, underground, But when, at last, they do emerge, You’ll know that they’re around. Cicadas noisily arrive And swarm in our surroundings. We’re powerless to stop them, With their loud and constant houndings. But there are clever people Who don’t try to overlook them. Instead, they figured out some ways That they can spice and cook them. They fry them...

They're Coming Soon They're coming soon to ruin summer peace! All night and day we'll hear their horrid song- and cover ears to help the noise decrease! They're coming soon to ruin summer peace; from soil to trees they'll rise, and shells release. Brood-X cicadas will invade- headlong! They're coming soon to ruin summer peace; all night and day we'll hear...

Summertime
Cicada chirps Cold soda pop slurps Summertime is in the air. Chasing fireflies at night Honey bees in flight Summertime is in the air. Front porch talks Beach-combing walks Summertime is in the air....
