The cicada ~~~~*~~~~ Strolling on a clear Hot summer day I came upon The empty shell Of a cicada. Living proof It’s alive and residing Within the closes Tree from the scene Of it’s Discovery. Looking like nothing Resembling the empty body shell Left behind. After it metamorphosis Into the lovely Creature making music Vibrating it’s body Together. By:William Bonilla D’Artagnan 10/07/2018,

That's just another example of one should not be judged by the clothes he/she wears, for underneath the clothes there may be treasure or decaying rots.

A beautiful view of what metamorphosis is all about.

Unfortunately, to me the cicada makes an extremely shrill and annoying sound that keep one up at night wishing it would go away.

Nature always seems to hold miracles for us to witness and observe, indeed the poet comments upon and draws meaning. Well done.

There's always something a little magical when you find a cicada shell, because metamorphosis is magical. Nice write.
