In praise of grasshoppers from a to z.
An ode to the grasshopper by adewpearl
For those of us who love all God's creatures.



Abuzz, acoustical
aerodynamic bugs.

Crescendoing, cacophonous
calliope cadenza.

Dissonant din -
eurythmic evensong.

Frolicking, frenzied
gabbing gadabouts.

Height-reaching insects.
Jumping katydids -
leaping madrigals.

Nearing nightfall,
omnipresent patter
quickly rises.

Sociable twilight talkers -
ubiquitous.

Vacillating wings,
walking xylophones,
yammering -
zoom!

Author Notes
I love grasshoppers. Their song, their grace, what they add to the music of the summer night. This poem speaks of my love by tracing their qualities through the alphabet.
