Crickets

Objective

Understanding the Poem

The poem is about finding value in what might seem insignificant and the beauty of the natural world. Additionally, the humorous ending provides an opportunity for a sudden shift in tone and memorable moment.

“Crickets chirp wise words,
To those who listen deeply,
I don’t. Pesky bugs.”
