The title!...The second and third line!! O, the Pathos, not to mention the side-splitting hilarity. (Can't stop laughing at that "Insect's Ode to Joy" / Roll Over Bee-thoven, updated!!) You've nailed another one, my friend: Utterly pounded it! Bravo! :) gw

That first line was weak and bugging me, not in the now of haiku form, I think I finally got it. Over the moon with your sweet comment my friend! Thank you!!! Laugh on laugh on brother! I love Bee-thoven, had named one of my koi Ludwig <3 xomo!

Beethoven came to mind, too, even before I noticed Michelle's comment!! The only insect I can think of is the chicada...I'll be getting loads of those in my garden in a couple of months time. Regards // paul

This is an ode to the cicada! 13 and 17 are the years the periodic cicada lives underground. Love the cicadas, and the glorious 9th! xomo!
