Cicadas - Tanka Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

Cicadas - Tanka

Rating: 5.0


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

It happens! A Tanka worded powerfully. I can visualise it.

Oh yes this happens. They have their fate written like this. So, we should admire we are better humans.

The sound and the ensuing silence provide dramatic imagery. Well done!
