Turtles

Your poem reminded me of the famous 100 year old Galapagos Island turtle named Lonesome George. When these little guys are born and desperately move to the water, I always wish I could help them. I agree with so many below, your phrase,"moon mirrored seas" holds such beautiful imagery. I'm happy to have found this one. It is lovely.

Delightful, Michelle ~

Hi Michelle: What a fantastic Haiku you have written……I have witnessed turtles hatching in Hawaii and you have described the scene perfectly. Hugs, SuZ

Michelle your Haiku creates such wonderful visualization of these turtles involving the moon. Enjoyed very much to read. Enjoy your weekend...

I'm so glad you wrote about those tiny turtles crawling so fast to the sea and life! ...moon mirrored seas. Your Haiku is just lovely. Best of luck.

I haven't seen turtles on a moon-mirrored sea (love that wording) but I have seen a grunion run a night, and it is a delight to behold. Lovely haiku, Michelle

A sight I yearn to see in person. Lovely Haiku Michelle :)

The pull of those seas, esp. when 'moon-mirrored.' ~ Sandy... Seriously, penned with a noble dignity, Michelle.

Love this Michelle. The imagery says it all.

for me this one is one of the best on the list. Congrats. I love this.

Well written Haiku, my friend. Congrats on the contest win! Bill

Congratulations on your win. What a Wonderful write/story in just a few words. Have a blessed day writing away....................

"moon mirrored seas" - Wow! Congratulations!

Michelle, congratulations on your winning placement with your beautiful haiku!

We have seen turtles eggs been laid by the turtle mummy - did not count but normally theY lay between 80 - 120 eggs - 60 days approximately later, these eggs hatch and these tiny babies scuttle down to the sea and the waves, about 1% survive as birds and crabs will eat them. Never seen it but it must be awesome yet so sad to watch. Love turtles so going to fave this fabulous Haiku Michelle. My comment is specific to Leather back turtles only, different species will vary love and hugs Jennifer

Moon mirrored seas.. Wow... Well penned

Dear Michelle, every vibrant line shines in this beautiful haiku! So much to love here, both as a Nature scene and as a poetic gem. A fav! Warmest wishes, my inspiring friend.. ~Susan
