Summer Sounds

One simple sound always reminds me of summer. Sitting on the porch , the air heavy with the fragrance of the lilac at the corner of the house..the sound of crickets a backdrop for summer dreaming. Nothing pressing to do, nowhere special to go. content to just sit and watch the moon.. and listen to the cricket chorus. Sometimes the chirping is almost drowned out by the sound of the frogs that live down by the well..but the crickets are persistent and proud of their voice. Time is nothing; now is all and tomorrow seems far, far away.

Ahh.......this poem reminds me of our evening just last night!! We sat out on our front porch, ...a perfect night to listen to the crickets and tree frogs, and wait for the first star after sunset !! Love this, Barb!!

Hi there. Glad you liked it.. I grew up in Humboldt Co and every evening we would sit on the porch and chat...listen to the sounds. BG

You could have written this poem from my front porch except for the mosquitoes, Mrs Barbara. How relaxing and soothing this poem is. I really enjoyed the imagery, i can hear the crickets and frogs. Great job!
