俳句 365 haiku (217) 《空蝉・蝉時雨 Kunpūshi》

  　

空蝉や命を繋ぎ蝉時雨

(utsusemi-ya inochi-o-tsunagi semishigure)

　　　　　　　（薫風士）

    

above its cast-off skin,

a cicada is singing;

linking its life to the next generation

　                     (Lovee)

    

The first picture shows a cicada, which is protecting itself out of sight of L.P. Lovee, on the trunk of a peach tree on August 1, 2025.  In the third picture, the cicada boastfully appeared for singing, as if for the sake of Lovee, on a branch of the same tree on the 5^th of August.
