cricket serenades

its prima donna till dawn

where weaving winds dance

over warm tangerine hills—

the flower full moon exists

through the lightening stage right
 
 
 
 
 
 

Author Notes
- Stage Right and Stage Left always refer to the performer's perspective when standing on the stage.

- Prima donna = female opera singer; diva

- Full flower moon happens in May click here if you want to see the full list of Native American full moons

- Why do crickets chirp? They chirp for the sake of love. Male crickets employ their melodies to communicate their presence and attract the attention of their potential mates.


BUSSO (Bussokusekika) is an old rare form of Japanese poetry comprising six lines written in a 5-7-5-7-7-7 syllables pattern. It was created in the 8th century and was written from 710 to 1185. They are usually written about religion or philosophical beliefs but contemporary Busso can be any subject. source

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.
