Poem and photo come from the moments in this video. I was trying to capture the sound, but I have to turn my volume to eleven to hear what so delighted my ears in person.
2022 ETA: Sorry, the site that hosted this video deleted it and a dead computer deleted it from my access to it.
Cicadas will forever be the sound of summer in my mind. I used to dread the sound because it meant upcoming hot weather but after all these years in the south I love the sound because it means upcoming hot weather!
I like the sound, too, although they are THE VERY DEVIL if you have a migraine.
