Nothing quite as mysteriously disturbing as the empty shell on the beach. Don't know the cicada, but got me thinking. LOve, daver

Daver, Cicadas are insects. They are underground for 17 years then come out to come out of their shell, mate, and lay eggs. Thanks for the visit. Sara

Nice poem. I wrote a poem about the Cicada years ago. If I find it I will post. Your work gave the reader a beautiful image of this marvelous insect. Jancarl
