Turtles

Turtles Augury of ancient Chinese mythology, Mentions divine turtles, Turtle shells,,,, Defy augur's abilities ! On the back of turtle, Stands volcano Island Bali, Two snakes on sides, If go weak in aim, Earth quakes ! Yabuti donated A fire to man, Trickster or justice helper ! Bedawang a turtle Carries elephants, Holds earth on his back ! Shells on Samurai swords, Signify bravery! Leatherbacks and hawksbills, Beautiful Sea turtles, Heroes in music, Arts and music stars! Eat up plastics, Taking for jellyfishes! Switch off your lights, Clean up the beach, For Turtles nesting, Save and help grow, Celebrate world turtles day! Written on 18/7/14 Contest- Turtles Sponsor- Cyndi Macmillan Ranked 6th

Dear Dr. Upma, you described many things I didn't know about turtles. I can just imagine a turtle carrying an elephant! This is quite a delightful poem and you are sure to place in the contest. I am vacationing, but had to stop by and thank you for your kind words. I'm so glad I saw this wonderful poem! Love, Carolyn
