As it was mentioned, I thought I would respond. I am in no means against poems having depth, nor am I blind to the allusion in this poem that there could be a connection between the swarming of grasshoppers and romantic love, in the sense when the frenzy of passion wears off there is nothing left. There is a metaphorical connection between these two that could be made. It was in my opinion never made. Thus not a problem with depth, but a problem with connection or meaning. Evidently I did not clearly state what I had to say and I wished to clear that up.

The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
