Haibun:
During early summer evenings we love to sit high above the ground amongst the trees on our deck. We will have desert and a “nip” while we are mesmerized watching the Chimney Swifts or Swallows. True aerialists, they feed high above the trees on evening insects, their twittering vocals sometimes shrill and keen. A true bug-fest that ends as the sun goes down. Then all becomes calm and the insects begin their song.

Haiku (own voice – the real prompt)
summer evening singing – sounding like an old vacuum cleaner
sounds like you have plenty of nature to keep you entertained…i am sitting on the back porch right now listening to crickets
It is so grounding isn’t it Brian? We have just a postage stamped size yard but there is a lot of nature and life there. Enjoy your stay upon the porch.
Swallows twittering — that’s very pleasant. 🙂
The haiku on “own voice” made me laugh. I’m not better sounding myself.
