A Cricket (Children's Poem)

Rating: 5.0


You, strange creature, cricket green!
When I first saw you, —I froze with fear!
But then, I heard your ‘creak-creak' voice
On a summer day, and I rejoiced.

Now, every time you ‘creak-creak' sing:
So joyful are the months of spring!
Dandelions sway in harmony,
And to me, —it's the sweetest melody!

Now, every time your creak-creak sing, So joyful are the months of spring! .......touching and impressive expression. Beautiful poem. Enjoyable not for children only but for adults too.

It's wonderful how quickly the child goes from fear to joy and then adopts the cricket as a familiar companion. And she joins the dandelions dancing to the cricket's song. I agree with Rachel Sunprincess this is a perfect summer poem. I could even feel the warm sunshine on me and see the bright green colors everywhwere. For a suspended moment it was summer... Then winter returned.
