My firsst sighting of these bugs I'll never forget. It was like seeing many mini dust storms in the air. Guess I saw them in flight :-) Wonderful fun write!

Well done Karla! I'll never forget the cicadas
when I lived in Illinois. We had an infestation
one year of the Dutch Elms trees. It was unbelievable.
great write!

Fantastic Haiku, Karla, just beautifully done!

I have never seen these Cicadas, but I did see them on the national news, very interesting little critters...
And they are truly loud! hahaha.

Hugs and love

Very Good, Karla!

Life, for them, is, indeed, short - above ground. And I have to admire any critter who lives underground for 17 years - sucking plant juice.

PS One of my mutts, Turbo, just ate one - I 'chewed' him out good!

I remember the song of the cicada and those creepy red-devil eyes, too! ICK! *cringing* I HATE bugs, especially ugly cicadas! How can something SO hideous have such a beautiful song?? (Oh, yeah...they are lookin' for LOOVVVVVVVVVVVE!! LOL) Wonderful poem that brings back memories! Thanks for sharing; enjoyed~

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D

We got lucky here and they stayed about 10 miles north of those nasty bugs, just I guess if I lived in the ground for 17 years and new I only had a few weeks when I got outside I raise fuss also.
