Dark

Dark,

& the sound of crickets 

Though it’s daytime...

Though it’s daytime, 

crickets sing

in the tall grass.

Choir of crickets

Choir of crickets —
background to the snores
of humans and cats.

On Poetry Pea Podcast!

One of my haiku has been featured on the Poetry Pea Podcast for 9/3/18. I'm so honored! When you look at the folks' works featured, it is really something to be in such company.

Just in case you don't want to listen, here it is.

Cool night air,the sound of crickets -- and snoring.

And even further back!

Brown sand in my socks
and shoes.
Worth it.

--------

Blood red sun
skies made of smoke and loss—
I can’t breathe.

--------

Finally nighttime!
Noisy fans cease to the
sound of crickets.

---------- Accidentally
disturbed a tiny spider.
Now avoiding it

Fearless, bright cricket

Fearless, bright cricket--
on the other side of the glass,
a wistful cat.

Brown-gray lizard stalks...

Brown-gray lizard stalks
a cricket-- bright-eyed crow
watches every move.

Sounds of crickets from
a stereo. I'd rather
hear the real thing.

Rushing in, she smells
of Earl Grey tea and cool night air.
Then, sounds of crickets.
