Thank you for the lovely review, Nancy. I appreciate the kind comments about the writing. I find the crickets soothing to listen to, but I know they can drive people crazy with the constant chirping. Here's hoping they don't bother you tonight.

W.j.debi;
Simply a marvelous and well composed piece of poetry that is so captivating for the reader so brilliantly moving and alive with creatures of the night playing an orchestrative tune.
The imagery is so real and very descriptive let alone being very eloquently expressive throughout this short piece: "sweet syncopation 'neath the moon/ chirp soothing lullaby...".
Q so much for sharing and posting is for everyone to read and may the Lord be with you always my friend.

Thank you for the generous stars and kind comments. Hey, it was my first attempt at a nonet. Everyone has to start somewhere. I encourage you to try one. It was fun.
I do love Angelheart's artwork. She is so generous to share.

It does seem that people either enjoy the sound or find it totally irritating. I love it. I think for me it just symbolizes that all is well since the crickets don't chirp unless it is peaceful

Hope you and your hubby get some sleep tonight and those pesky crickets don't keep you up.

Hi, W. J.,

Awesome abstract. I used to enjoy the crickets chirp when I lived on the farm in Ohio. We have them in Arizona, but nothing like the Midwest.

Enjoy!

Cheers & Blessings

Thank you, Jax. I do find the sound soothing and a comforting sound to retire to at night. It seems all is right with the world if the crickets are chirping.
Thank you for the great review. Debi

Thank you, Brooke. I appreciate the encouraging review. This was my first attempt at a nonet. I wanted it to be a perfect triangle. LOL. It is much harder than it looks. I'll have to try again.

Chirping crickets would not be my idea of a song. Too much of a racket interrupting the stillness of a summer night.

A very smooth flow with great rhymes. Well done, Buck

The sound of crickets seems to be something people either like or dislike. I guess I find them soothing since they only sing if things are peaceful and I it amazes me how they seem to get in sync with each other.

Not for everyone though, and I admit, I dislike the sound of one single cricket. Somehow, I find that irritating.

Thank you so much for the great review, Buck. I appreciate the encouragement. Debi

Great little poem. Oddly enough I am hearing crickets chirp while reviewing your poem. I love how you framed this and bravo on the poem.

Thank you for the beautiful stars and lovely comments. I appreciate the encouragement.
I do find the chorus of crickets soothing, although a lot of people do not. I guess it just says "all is well" to me since they only chirp when it is peaceful. Hope you feel the same since they are singing to you at the moment.
