Typewriter Rodeo is a unique project that crafts custom poems on various Texas topics. Each week, the team behind Typewriter Rodeo takes on requests and creates beautiful poems like the one above, which was inspired by a listener’s query about dealing with the recent election.
The poem, titled “Wisdom,” beautifully captures the resilience and hope that we can find in difficult times. It compares us to trees, with thick bark to weather storms, deep roots to find water in dry times, and branches that bloom despite adversity. The message is one of perseverance and growth, even in the face of challenges.
Typewriter Rodeo’s work is showcased on Texas Standard every Friday, but you can also catch their creations in podcast form. If you have an idea for a poem, you can reach out to them on Facebook, Twitter, or via email.
The project is a testament to the power of words and creativity in capturing the essence of Texas life and culture. It’s a reminder of the beauty that can be found in the everyday, and the resilience that we all possess. So next time you’re in need of some inspiration, why not reach out to Typewriter Rodeo for a custom poem that speaks to your heart?
