Studying The Cricket Poem by Romella Kitchens

Studying The Cricket

Maybe I was a cricket or maybe the haiku-like wisdom and vantage point surmised in it's burgeoning or perhaps just the intent:

A cricket sings high up in a tree.

A cricket is seen on the ground in the green moss soil from the heavens.

A cricket longing for the dead cricket wife a crueler child has placed drying in a muddy mason jar... regard it's wings or how they wither with the last new days.

Wings...How they wither with the continuance of grief.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is a free verse poem. I would attest it has the investigation of nature and focal point in some haiku poems. Sometimes looking at a topic with a differing vantage point can be interesting. The feeling of haiku is a force all of its own. That essence is here, but not the haiku format although I have written poems in the past with it and have enjoyed it very much.
