    I revised the haiku to reflect the true nature of cicadas. Thanks for the fun feedback to get me to rework it!

    A triolet for the Cicadas choir!! :)

    I hear the noisy locust
    When Autumn days are here
    And I cannot be focussed
    I hear the noisy locust
    All through the month of August
    Stripping fields across the weir
    I hear the noisy locust
    When Autumn days are here
    :D

    Sometimes the choir does get on your nerves a la cacophony but for most part it is a symphony...Beautiful haiku Maggie :)

    Your haiku reminds me of when I was a kid. I enjoyed listening to the cicadas. Haven't hear their sound in a long time. Great haiku! :)

    Nice haiku! i think I just might be jealous though. I live where we are supposed to get the 17 year cicadas .. I haven't really heard them though.

    I love falling to sleep to the 'cacophony' .... the image you chose shows nature's paintbrush..
