Gary Hallock says Limeraiku rhymes like a limerick with the meter of haiku

Above ground roars sound
A droning buzz that just was
Too loud to be drowned

Gates of Hell did swell
Hordes of bugs, high as on drugs
Came out of their shell

Raucous their caucus
Reverie sans referee
Loudly they mock us

Sounds of cicadas
When they mate is ugly. Bug
We smoosh. Cruel, fate is

When under my feet
On the street a bunch I crunch
Their sound becomes sweet

Entomologists
Will be pissed that I deny
Them subjects they've missed
