Poetry Wednesday, A Haiku
We don't have cicadas out here in California. At least i've never seen one. But i'm sympathetic to all those people back east who have had to deal with the ugly critters this year.
Hang in there.

If you're suffering through the infestation, you may look to the words of the great haiku poet Basho for encouragement.
In the cicada's cry
No sign can foretell
How soon it must die.
Hang in there.
Update: Victor beat me to it (via Zenchick). He's also got some wild and grotesque pictures here, here and here.

I guess you missed all my cicada posts, one of which includes the non-poem translation of that poem, and cicada pr0n pix.
Take a look. You know you want to.

Whaddaya mean, "grotesque?" They out of focus? Poorly framed? Overexposed?

No, no, they're beautiful pictures, but the bugs are ugly. : )
