Thank you, tim. All sorts of strains make up the music of these days. I'm sweeping cicadas off my front steps, too - though soon they will be supplanted by katydids announcing the end of summer. You're very kind to comment on these.

Wonderful poems.  Cicadas are ugly and i am tired of finding them at the bottom of the staircase in the morning.  ugh

That aren't many cicada here as years past. Which somewhat desappoints the pup. He consumes them in great delight.

What lovely portraits of summer. They fill the senses and make one appreciate the simple pleasures of the season. These are the things we long for on those cold drear days to come.

to sunlight."

I love this... and in the end it all comes down to sharing these delights with someone. You are a poet to your core, Parker.

The pup might have his work cut out for him here.  Thank you for reading these and for responding to them. My hope is that you and I can read them in January and feel the warmth and the sunshine.

Thank you for reading these. You are right in saying that the sensual pleasures of summer are best enjoyed when they are shared. Perhaps these lines will help the warmth linger into the autumn.

Ah! Wonderful, visual verse about my favorite season! Thanks for sharing!

I’m glad these lines made you smile. Perhaps they’ll help us savor the season a bit longer. 

I love these, Parker. Lovely glimpses of a summer that is going by way to quickly.

We haven’t had as many cicadas here either, I noticed. I kind of miss the sounds. Not the sweeping up.

Already the cicadas are being replaced by katydids, proclaiming the end of summer. But maybe these lines will make the glow last a little longer. You’re very kind to read these, and to comment.
