Hey Yvette. Cicadas are the din of summer. When the sun goes down their song comes up. A few summers ago my wife and I were leaving parking lot and she said to me, "The trees are teeming with life." I love the sound of them. Z

    Wouldn't trade their sound for anything, Z, they are my relaxation noise machine and my reminder that it's not cold yet! ;) :) Thanx for stopping by on this one, sir!! ;) Yvette

What an eye-appealing, color presentation and ear-appealing use of alliteration in the tanka! I enjoyed your pivot line as well. Best wishes in the competition- Joan

When I was growing up in Northern Ohio, I would love to lay in bed at night and let the cicada's song sing me into a meditative state until I drifted off to sleep.
