Best Cicada Poems
Cicada SongHoneysuckle hazel breeze
Blowing through my mind's trees
Despite outside with winter freeze
In my heart that's blasphemy
Sunny smiles and heated red touch
Stay a while and fall in lavender love
Jack frost lost his sex appeal
Fireplace warm with toasty teal thrill
Summer songs are our escape
The sing a longs...

The Cicada RumbleIt's been a long time since the cicadas rumbled.
History books say 'twas eighteen hundred and three
When war struck the trees where bees sometimes bumbled.
The seventeen and thirteen boys couldn't agree.
The horror of those days can't be told in rhyme,
But that war to end wars, we...

CicadaI'm one of these billions out there
hallucinating wanting to be happy
we can't get away from it
the sun pulls us out of bed to fight
until the moon knocks us down to dream again
with the success of the crop
daughter's wedding
the new job at work
vacation
a happiness carved by...

Cicada Tryst..the cacophony
of cicada chirpings
died down into the silent
stillness of this
sultry night
..and over there
where the giant mango tree
sat still on its own
vast, dark-green
shadow
..a silken silhouette
of a white scarf slowly waving
from an unseen hand,
at long last, assured me
..she had kept her word....

Killing Cicada KillersThere are things in my life of which I'm not proud
But my letting friends down tops the list,
I guess I could let my mind walk in a cloud
But the friends that I've lost are still missed.
Friendship can be offered to so many things,
There...

A New World OrderMake all of those hearts that are filled with hate,
be forced to hibernate and reappear
after seventeen years..
They could get it right or remain
out of sight in the dirt they could persevere.
Just like a cicada, we would say see you later,

Emperor Dragonfly's Best Ball EverEmperor dragonfly had a ball
Stag beetle came big and tall
Water springtail brought housefly date
Common cockroach came without a mate
Eyed hawkmoth arrived in style
Caught ladybug’s winsome smile
Praying mantis brought sense of doom
Other mantises quickly left the room
Green lacewing came with water spring tail
Silverfish brought rest...
