Cicada Time ~ Gideon RoosA Poem by Gideon T RoosA poem in praise of the resiliance of the animal kingdom.Early in the morning as the sun begins it’s slow climb out of bed
the beetles are already up and showering in the morning dew
aunt Sara and uncle Bob are already hanging up the morning washing
the spider and the fly are already playing the game of life
little Jimmy and Naughty Jon have already lost a ball
and the ant and termite empires are already hard hard at war
As the golden round reaches the hight of its reign
aunt Sara and uncle Bob have passed out on the bed; the majority of their clothes lie haphazardly in their stead
little Jimmy and Naughty Jon are lying under a tree; their skin dotted with the drops of water from their earlier swimming spree
but
the beetles are still hard at work gathering food for the night
the spider and the fly have yet to return to their stalls
and the ant and termite empires are still building up their walls © 2015 Gideon T Roos |
