One of the prettiest moments of the year in Texas? The Monarch migration. That was the inspiration for Typewriter Rodeo’s Kari Anne Roy as she wrote this week’s poem.
Monarchs
sitting in your office
sitting on your porch
sitting in traffic
and there they go
is it confetti?
leaves on the wind?
or are your eyes really seeing
what you think they’re seeing?
monarchs!
monarchs!
butterflies everywhere
bursts of them across the blue sky
day time fireworks
as they make their way home
a migration of color
of beauty
of such a surprising delight
that even the toughest monday
suddenly has a flash of light
