Ha ha ha ha! Your last poem has me laughing out loud! And I love the cicada poem. I also wrote an insect mating poem, though definitely not as kind as yours.

I wish you could've seen the "cabana boy" in the Antony and Cleopatra production I saw last month. He sang, too. Excellent turn. I chortle each time I read it. ----Sara

"Chickachickachick" is my favorite here. That's the sound of August for me.

Too funny, Kelly! Love your sense of humor.

I KNEW I would find sharp wit here! LOVE these! The cicada is my favorite.
