Thumblike cicadas
Smashed into the clean windshield
Of my new blue car
Splattered their sticky liquid
Ended their defeaning buzz.

Indeed, the USA highways are so big that the automobiles have constantly cicadas flying against their front. We in the Netherlands have only insects flying against our cars,
Oh yes this happens. They have their fate written like this. So, we should admire we are better humans.
It happens! A Tanka worded powerfully. I can visualise it.
That was supposed to be as much as i like cicadas heh oops! .. God bless! ..
Heh, As I like cicadas it's kinda humorous! .. Sorry to hear about your car heh and the cicadas too! .. Excellent expressions! .. Definite 5 Stars! ...+++++
The sound and the ensuing silence provide dramatic imagery. Well done!
