Chiton crunch

Cicada moltings
Clinging
On crampons,
Ascending
oak trunks;
Bolted in,
Eyes bugged,
Focused on
the summit above;
Mountaineers fall
From Everest
During autumn’s
Avalanches;
Chitons crunched
Under children’s
Jack boot stomps.

Interesting prose on cicadas and the mountainous trees they must climb. I like the metaphor and comparison. Especially when the autumn winds come, the empty shells crash to earth and then are ground to dust. Great imagery, great all around. I like this. You been alright?

Could be better CD, how about you, sir?
Haven’t been here consistently. Working hard at a new school.
Thank you for this lovely review.

[CD Campbell]

You're welcome. Been alright. Just working a lot myself.

I sure am happy I got someone I know, from somewhere I grew up on here. Got to get over and see what you’ve penned. It’s usually quietly profound.Take care, sir
