Song of the crickets,
a symphony to my ears,
moonlight sonata.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints in our heart and we are never ever the same.

Thank you all for leaving footprints!!

PDV, this is the only challenge I'm going to do.

The rest are too exhausting and restrictive.

This was very nicely done...I use crickets a lot in my own haiku, as did the old masters. Here is one of my favorites of my own:

Sudden silence
so deep even crickets
hesitate.

also....

An early frost,
and just one cicada
to sing me to sleep.
