Monarch Comments

Simply a wonderful poem, Frank! Your three-line stanza is used expertly to provide fleet movement reflective of butterfly flight. In fact, movement is an outstanding aspect of this poem. From the very first to last lines the poem moves with a swift but not rushed speed and sustains that same speed throughout, which is a marvelous control of line throughout. And your imagery spills over the page with gorgeous detail. It fulfills the the poem's need to somehow duplicate the creatures' movement and colors in words. You found both and launched the migration! This is the second Monarch Migration poem I've read this week.
