I’ve been writing haiku on crickets already for a while and selected a
few of the newer ones.
Fresh morning
Trees hide in the fog
Crickets start working
Two cicadas
On a long walkabout
Sun climbing up
Heavy drums sounding
From a village behind pines
The crickets join
in
So bright this morning
Cicadas won’t sleep no more
Tea rejoices, too
Gentle breeze, still warm
Withering banana plant
Cicada’s clear song
An airplane
Flying low, roaring
Cricket chirps louder
Kitchen fire
Taking the pinch out of the cold
Cricket’s summer song
Rain after midday
Summer drifting away with clouds
Cricket’s autumn
song
Wind has made its pledge
To outrun thunder and rain
Giggling cicadas
Leaves are turning red
Wild geese getting ready to leave
But
crickets still sing
Autumn colours
Night refrains from falling
Until the cricket stops
Why should it rain
With multicoloured leaves
Cricket keeps asking
Leaves changing colours
Mushrooms drying on wooden bench
Say goodbye cricket
Must sleep now
With brown leaves as cover
The cricket thinks
The leaves are rattling
But the pine trees rest silently
Cricket’s
last song
A fantastic series! Bravo!
