Hibernation

Fearless Excavation!
Dirt flies into the air.
Turtle Devastation, 
As he digs a muddy lair.

Mindful Contemplation.
Winter weather is quite near.
Springtime Fascination
Is when turtle reappears.

Turtles are interesting creatures. The winter hibernation is a part of many creatures. Intersting are the ways of nature. Enjoyed your beautifully rhyming poem, dear Hilda.

Some kids found a turtle in summer and it was kept for a pet. It subsequently disappeared. The next year it was found hidden in dirt that the dogs were trying to uncover. We set it free in a pond.

Bears are more popular than turtles, but I thought it to be about time that turtles get a review. Yay for both.. thanks for your comment.

An essential part of the turtle's life, Nicely expressed

Yes, but they don't seem to mind. Mud is probably good for their shells.
