Stop break and listen
A song is always playing
Breeze plays the leaves
Cicada strums the strings
As the Vireo's aria unfolds

Cicadian Rhythm

cryptic cicada
nocturne of tymbals thrumming
cicatrix in brain

dead silence of night
my last breath in abeyance
for cicada song

loud celebration
winged flowers of Lazarus
nature’s snooze alarm

Noisy cicada
drones in the summer evening.
No one gets to sleep.

Tis the Season

"tis the season"


a cicada sizzles in the Summer sun
as the day begins another begun

some day this will all be done
when Fall falls into Autumn

A Summer's Sound

Cicada chirp
vibration.

Comes an image
of heat, sweat, sweet clover
and haystacks that itch.

Was it the wind that had been loosed?
On my still bum, he’d come to roost.
I’d been poked unaware.
I turn around and stare.
By a cicada, I’ve been goosed.

a balmy evening sweating out rivers of heat ~ sun glares in silence too hot to handle sounds of summer pierce the sky ~ cicada chorus

Autumn's Approach

cicadas grow old
                                              their voices fading softly
                                                                       autumn approaches

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.

sea breezes have no interest in political winds staccato cicada chatter pays no heed to chatty gossip wild leeks don't choose the soup of the day if they could, would anyone listen?

Hug the Dark

Silver moon wandering as enlightened one
Glowworm flaunting as moons scion
twinkling stars garnished dark sky
tinkling cicada added music to rye
serene night pacifies ones spleen
routine sleep wants to this dark sheen..

Cicada

By tassel-like tentacles the cicada suck the clear dew,
The sparse parasol trees its voice penetrates through.
Higher position makes its sounds heard far and wide,
It’s not because of the support autumn winds provide.r

Premium Member A Mysterious Red Invasion

The cicada makes a mysterious red invasion every 13 years Maybe they're superstitious or gamblers... how weird!!! What if us humans hibernated Emerge craving food, eyes dilated Screams would crash through drums of neighbours ears

Premium Member Upon the Ebb and Flow

From atop the great tall sequoias dragonflies fantasize of summertime; of warmer mornings and balmy winds, while dodging flycatchers and bullfrogs. A lone cicada sings his mating sonnet upon the ebb and flow of life's circle.
Form: Verse

Sunset

Sun goes down in abstract silences,
deep into the breath of primary colours.
The universe blends in perfumes
of passion’s passed moments.

Singing midnight in white rime
by cicada, lost in flowers lime,
dreams move in the senses of the universe—
setting atomic desire free.
