  kelly,

  visiting city friends often claim that
  it’s so noisy here. it’s the cicadas that
  get to them. in my opinion, car horns, trains,
  overhead airplanes and sirens, all 24/7
  are much noisier. those of us who live
  with their rhythmic “whee-ur” dont even notice it.

  pulsating chatter

  summer’s constant lullaby

  cicada night-song.

  I’m glad you concur with my “wee-ur” sound. I struggled with how to translate cicada talk into English. : )

  I think I heard a wee-ur today! It’s quite different than the one I wrote my haiku about as a facebook comment to this post. I think it’s a scissor-grinder cicada… at least, the one I heard just now definitely was!

  Cicada songs are neat.
