A cicada haiku by Basho

It gives no sign
that it knows its death is near
the cicada's cry
-- Basho

(translated by Earl Miner)

A timely haiku as the cicada song fades in Chicago. With the departure of the cicadas, the Chicago Cicada Haiku contest is also winding down. Don't forget to submit your entry.
