frogs and crickets sing
nightly rural opera
begin as night falls
fly on windowsill
cool breezes tolling death knell
seeks reprieve indoors

morning insects hum
cool air envelopes the house
flying geese call fall

deafening love song
cicadas treetop chorus
ear piercing courtship

deadly midair dance
twilight beckons hunter
bat gives just one kiss
mosquitos soon surrender
thousands swoon and perish nightly
Filed under tanka
first August morning
sparrows hop on dry, crisp grass
search for seeds, insects
