A lovely Pantoum Poem about these raucous insects. You know, what amazes me about this form, it reads so easily and simply but, for me they are so darn hard to do. Enjoyed reading about your enthusiastic choir.
cheers,

This is a wonderfully composed pantoum. I enjoyed reading it. It's a bit of a tricky form, I think, but you've done a great job. Good luck in the contest. Marilyn

Anyone who reads this and is not aware of the beautiful music of the cicadas I hope will venture out to hear their symphony.
A beautifully painted picture which both reminisces, let's others share the joy and again encourages people to enjoy the sound.
So well done.

Thank you so much. I'm glad you like them, too. I don't think summer would be complete without them.

Cicadas, AKA the seven-year locust, AKA "des cigale chanteuse" are one of my favorite insects. I like that raucous, deafening roar, as you put it. I like your poem and how you did it, it came out well.

A wonderful exsmple of a pantoum! It flowed nicely and painted a picture of a summer chorus that will soon be missed. Potlatch challenge met! Now I have to write my own.,,

Comment from Cindy McIntyre
What a unique topic of chose, the cicadas song. As I read it I could visualize them and "hear" their song! I love the format of this poetic style--the repeated lines/meter really make the poem flow. Well-written!

Cheers, Damommy;
> I was really having fun reading this entertaining piece of poetry and what really interested me the most diverse it was written in a difficult but well composed and arranged Pantoum Style.
> The context was of the Cicada insect which gives off a harmonious buzzing sound when in unison can be deafening.
> The picture was very appropriate for the poem.
> Andy enjambment flowed fluidly throughout the writing without any hiccups or syntactical breaks in the writing and grammar and syntax of the writing.
> All the rhyming words were contingent and supportive to the meaning and concept of each line therefore making the rhythm to flow smoothly.
> Thanks so much for a very entertaining read, Damommy, And take care and have a good one especially with all those that love you dearly.

I thought this very well written. Recurring lines can be a hinder if not handled with care, and you managed to incorporate well.
Good imagery despite the strict set up.
All in all well worthy of its task.
Good luck in the competition.
Best wishes.

It makes me dizzy just thinking of you concentrating on the complexities of constructing this complicated accomplishment (alliteration was unintentional).
Good luck in the contest, Yvonne!
