Travel Taiwan Haiku - Cicada's Song of Love for Taipei
Taipei summer
cicadas blast away
their shrill
taipei summer heat
earsplitting
cicadas' shrill
Taipei summer
cicadas shrill with
passion for taipei
cicadas blasting
their songs
they too are overwhelmed
with their love for
taipei
Note, of course this is not all every street. I heard along Zhongshan North Road near to the Taipei Main Commuters Station. I also heard them in many parks i visited as well as a temple in Danshui, the harbour town north of Taipei.
