#Haiku Happenings #2: Kate Wilson’s latest #tanka and haiku for my current #Haikai Challenge!

In response to Frank’s Haikai challenge, my first tanka (hope I got the form right):


As the sun rises
a million cicadas wake,
and start drumming their
fifteen-hour crescendo
to celebrate the solstice

and a haiku:

The longest day fits
neatly with the shortest night.
How well organised!
