Cicadas' night songs
bring delight to lonely souls
till the morning comes
Nimble kids play free
while their father mows the lawn
mum observes the scene
Why I like these haiku
Cicada's night songs
A sad piece. The juxtaposition of night bringing delight because of their song and the inference that the delight fades in the morning light is beautifully depicted.
Nimble kids play free
Very domesticated scene but with a hint of sadness in it too. The words she uses indicate that this should be a happy scene. But the reader is left wondering why mum just observes and doesn't join in.
