Terry Schupbach-Gordon: "A periodic cicada spends 13 or 17 years underground as a nymph. They have appeared in literature since the days of Homer and Aristotle. In song the cicada is a symbol of survival. In mythology, Zeus turned Tithonus into a cicada when he asked for immortality. In this poem by R.W. Rhodes, they scamper, climb, and fly with the wings given them by Toby Gordon."
