mating call (haiga)

love has no bounds
despite the blazing heat,
cicada sings 
~
gasping silence
broken, cicada
flicks her wing

  1. A nice set Cheryl Lynn ... I like that first one the most ... that second one gives me a feeling of sadness ...

  2. Hmm, then I did not portray what I meant properly...the cicada in the first stanza is male and he sings to seduce the female; the female flicks her wing to respond; perhaps I should change it to


    even in silence
    seduced, one hears
    ...flick of her wing
