Love Song The cricket’s sing a love song beneath my window every night, they play a winged instrument with mating as their flight. Gentle serenade they keep and work so hard at song, I dream within their symphony that’s finished before dawn. Though crickets are cracked to think their wings attractive, because the believe they rub and rub and what they believe, is. Some folks sure don't like them, and would pay to have them gone, to me the sound of cricket love is music for which I long. ______ just for fun...write some more verses...or not  In the dew of little things, |

I like them just fine, OUTSIDE, from a good distance, perferably with a steel door between us. They do make beautiful music, though, don't they? Nasty as they are! LOL My compliments, Martie, on the write, which was gentle and soothing. Not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. |

Sometimes our crickets ARE so loud they seem to be INSIDE... your crickets are there already, huh? Ours have a few more weeks to hatch...soon enough...them and the fireflies... and I agree, ANY excuse to write, and I'll take it...glad YOU do too! Big Smiles! |

I love the sound of crickets! I used to fall asleep to them in the summer down at the shore. Fun little poem, Martie! |

The cricket's sound is just a chirp It's not a hiccup, cough or burp It's not a sigh, a yawn or shrug It's just the chirping of a bug But when he gets into your house You'd like to kill that little louse! |

Say it, Martie! That's the ticket! Talk about the joy of cricket. Killing them when I am able Puts the food upon my table. Gee, I love that little guy Especially when I see him die!  |
