Summer nights in sweltering heat.
Crickets chirp ne’er miss a beat.
Cheerful song, devil-may-care.
Like a knife cuts stagnant air.

Ribbit goes the frog in pond.
Male to female they both respond.
Spawning tadpole the two a pair.
Like a knife cuts stagnant air.

Heat of night does not deter.
Frog and cricket both concur.
Beautiful songs they both do share.
Like a knife cuts stagnant air.

Thanks for doing a Kyrielle. I do not recall reading about that form. You have done a nice job with it. I love the feeling you create between the cricket and the frog.
Thanks again, for reading and leaving Likes on so many of my poems.
It was my pleasure Elaine you are a very talented poet. I found this form yesterday and thought I would give it a try. :)
