Day 75 of The 100 Day Poetry Project

 Day 75 of The 100 Day Poetry Project


I read a poem by Joy Harjo that has a line that says "insect orchestra" in it. I can't remember the name of the poem but the image of an insect orchestra stuck in my head and I knew I had to create a poem to go with it. I did some research and the three loudest insects you hear at night in the summer are the katydids, crickets, and cicadas. So those are the bugs in my poem playing the tunes. The frogs are pretty loud at my house so they needed a mention too. I hope you enjoy this one.
