Cicada
Cracks, crevices, and holes disgorge
Insects by the trillions, a dizzying horde
Clicking so quickly, their tymbals abuzz
All to find love, reproduce, and then
Die
Abandoned exoskeletons, shift and sigh

Yup, it’s been one big long Studio 54 cicada party!
now this is a cicada poem i love! i love the unique angle and acrostic to avoid being trite. well done!!! the sounds in this are great too, so important when talking about a bug that is so audible.
