Premium Member The Cuddling Cricket
It’s not enough to have a Dragon plus his penguins and pigeons, too?
Darn it! I had a limit, until a cute Cuddling Cricket found my shoe.
He was just a little baby, who saw the pigeons and decided to hide.
Now, he won’t let go of my...

Premium Member Says the Cricket to the Thunder
Hold me low, pin me under 
Says the cricket to the thunder
In vibration intonation
Sacred sonic open eyes     
Under fern and forest flurry
Fits of fire feed the fury
In the garden of the jury
~The cricket king defies

Hear me deep, breath my name
If you...

THE CRICKET  


chirp chirp!


Visions of my past why are they following me?

Leave me the h3!! Alone,

Let me be, the earth is my home. 

I am not willing to fly free allowing my deception to roam free.

A passion I no longer see.

I...

The Cricket and the Dragonfly
A Long, Long Time ago, there was a cricket whose name
was Blue, she was named after the sky that she loved so true. 
All day long she would look up at the sky while the other 
crickets played and hopped merrily on by.
Then one day...

My Grass and Mole Cricket
My Grass and Mole Cricket

My grass is being killed by mole cricket,
Even beneath my fence that is a picket;
Grass is dying;
We are crying;
Do wish there is way that we can lick it.

Premium Member My Debut At Cricket
Sir Leonard Hutton famous for cricket
Idolized him yet we played in the snicket
His bat willow three springs and all
Ours a joke no umpire to call
Yet did dream of 'Lords' having took a wicket.

The Garden Keeper and the Cricket
I was cleaning my garden bed one day
when a lovely bright green cricket had 
a word or two to me, to say.

At first my eyes was full of wonder
how could this cricket be talking to me,
I was lost in ponder.

He looked as though he had...

Farewell Jimmy Cricket
Alone in my room...
Bored and hungry
With no food to consume

I look at a corner...
A cricket
"Hello, Jimmy, it's an honour."

My room became his...
My new room-mate
My heart was filled wit bliss

Day 3, knocked off at five
Jimmy still in my room
"Come on, let's get you a wife."

I offered...

The Reedybrook Ashes
Each year in August the teams descend, cricket foe morphing quickly to friend,
Bonds are forged on a pitch unique, camped on the banks of Reedybrook creek. 
The grass is cut, the fields set out, the umpires shout, ‘Fair play gents, otherwise, you’re out!’
Of drinks consumed,...
