aha, you are a nature lover. I would be there reading a book probably though I would enjoy watching the turtles for a while!! Cute one!

Hi Andrea, Thank you so much. "Somewhere" is a nice place to be. It is a very tranquil "Somewhere." A book is a definite! I'm glad you liked the poem. Have a pleasant evening. Earl

I love the title, what great imagery; I can see the little ones moving down the shore. 7 and good luck in the contest

Hi Eve, Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked it. I wish I had more lines to develop the sea, tree and turtle concepts. I will probably create a more well rounded and comprehensive version of this poem in the days to come. Have a great day. Take care. Earl
