Monarch Butterflies
Each year like butterflies
setting off from Canada for Mexican forests,
we too have survived rough periods
with nothing but will and stamina
for the chance to rest side by side
without rancor, our hands
touching like Monarch wings

Hi Bob,
articulates like a sonnet -
a curtailed free versed sonnet
Below is my workshop incarnation of your mini-sonnet Michael (MV)
Butterflies
Each year, monarchs
migrate from Canada all the way to the Mexican forest.
We too have survived the wuthering
with nothing but our faith and stamina
for the chance to rest side by side
without rancor -
our hands
touching like wings
