Shamefaced
somewhere in my
house behind the furniture
or in the
hearth under the firewood somewhere is a shy guest
he is singing his
song for all to hear i cover my ears
still it is the same
song i can not understand the words nor do i know
who he sings to i
wish he would sing elsewhere his song is pleasant enough
but it is the
repetition i no longer wish to hear if you find him
he is black and
shamefaced tiny cricket

Those crickets can be noisy, singing the same song ~
Thanks for joining in Annell ~ Have a good week ~
I was half-way through before I guess your visitor... loved the bit of drama in this... thanks for sharing
Ha. A cricket got into our basement the other summer, we were sleeping down there that summer because it was so much cooler. I remember hunting the little singer at abour 2 in the morning, because he was driving me crazy.
Ah poor old crickets, just being themselves I guess. But then when its bed time, yes that can be a problem!
Nice piece!
Thankfully I've yet to have any of those kind of visitors... smiles
Ah, cute little cricket singing his heart out....hopefully he can be found and assisted out into his lost meadow, to your mutual relief. LOL. Set Ward on him!!!!!
I wonder if the song of the cricket is really that wonderful or if it keeps you up at night,
Those crickets can be quite noisy, 'tis true, but they probably think the same of you. ;) Peace, Linda
and loud too :)
Smiles. I do love crickets and it's a good thing because we have them in abundance--both here and in the desert.
Yes, they can! They are best outside.
Since they are shy, they are hard to find....and they never seem to tire of singing their song.
I love this.

I really enjoy your style.
