Monarch Butterflies

[BobBradshaw]

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


note: an old poem revised

[Michael (MV)]

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

Thanks, Michael. I like what you have done with this.
