SUEKU 76- a classic haiku of 5-7-5- syllables, 3 lines

[Sue Littleton]

fiddler scrapes his bow
there’s a cricket by the hearth
small musician plays

[.Lucy.]

Hmm

[mindbum]

crickets bought last night
chewed thru bag & jumped off
chirp under furniture

[Sue Littleton]

One cricket is a joy, 100 crickets will drive you mad. ♥♥♥

[mindbum]

there were sixty.
abt forty got away.

it ws at my friend's house. which makes it funnier. i havent heard any complaints today.

[Sue Littleton]

You will hear complaints when all those crickets start eating paper, wool and plants. Plus singing.

Am I correct in guessing those crickets were intended for some cricket-eating pet? ♥

[mindbum]

usually i dont let many loose at once here at home. i have cats. they'll hunt em. alas, jeff hasnt any cats. he'll have to hunt hisself. or they'll just get away.

i have green tree frogs & firebellied toads. tho i have a suspicion one of my treefrogs is perhaps not the same species as the other. it's quite a lot larger.

[Sue Littleton]

As we say down here, "Cada loco con su tema," or "Each madman has his theme." Ho ho! ♥

[saw]

Jiminy could play
umbrella like a fiddle
Pinocchio cringed


cool one !

[Sue Littleton]

You come over as pretty cool your own self, Dude! ♥♥♥ You and Jimminy and the kid with the funny nose.

[joel]

crickets, frogs and toads
much volume from small volume
thunder from the air

Dear Joel,

And hath thee never heard the singing of the toad in spring?

garden at twilight
sweet notes of toad song thrill
rival linnet and larkSue
