Premium Member Giant Sea Turtle Saved the Day
The giant sea turtle saved the day by being the ride for many.
He rescued a pelican, a cat, a penguin and a dog named Penny.
Their ship went down, and they were at the mercy of the waves.
If not for turtle, they would all be in...

Green Sea Turtle
The sea unleashes its children green 
seeking a sandy shielded defense and 
swimming wings for legs, scraping 
their way from seaweed waters at low 
tide the sea awakens...

Those crusted, frothy shells demand
their way toward the grasses as destiny 
calls. Barely an eye to see, eroded...

My Green Sea Turtle
wonderful slick shell,
Brown and golden, the color of a shell.
That perfect shaped shell.
The shell of my turtle i know too well.

You are the greenest.
The most bravest.
And fastest (i think)
And maybe the smartest too.

You slick and slide,
And glide on by,
The water is what you love.
And you...

Sea Turtle
Small, beautiful face stares up at me
When did you become so exquisitely you (so entirely other than me)?
I've spent my life consumed in myself
You, the rock in the background of my sorrow (listening, understanding, comforting)
The waves of my emotions and actions
Rolling off you
Leaving you the...

The Green Sea Turtle
When you meet
a green sea turtle
be ready for  
the beans;
 so if
you get beaten, 
you will get eaten...

Sea Turtle
Subtle beak peeks, blowing through a reef’s ostentatiousness
Emerging from dark impervious depths, the need to breathe
Adept adaptation caught between the blues and greens of aqua 

Turtle spins in shelly quagmire where the sea and land consort
Ungainly gravity adheres, sands rasp of birth or death juju
Raking...

Premium Member Sea Turtle Point of View
Coral reefs are dangerous some entities say
Not to me maybe because I know of no other way
The corals are gorgeous, but can hurt your toes
I swim through these reefs loving their glows.

I am comfortable in these waters so deep
Predators are about, but I know where...

Premium Member I Choose To Be a Leatherback Sea Turtle
If there is reincarnation
and we get to choose another animal
I shall come back as a leatherback turtle
all humpback and proud
I will be eight foot long, and weigh two thousand pounds
Intimidating and formidable, I would stare down sharks
whales would marvel at my thick swimmers legs
I would...

Premium Member Snotty Haughty Sea Turtle
Snotty haughty sea turtle.
Stuck up
Barely speaking to other sea creatures
Much ado about nothing

Snotty haughty sea turtle
Mean to others
For decades
Now trying to pretend you are not haughty?

Snotty haughty sea turtle
Waving now
Pretending you have a heart
Might as well go back into your shell.

Snotty haughty sea turtle.
Too late
Too...

Gentle Wanderer
In tranquil depths, the sea turtle glides,  
Ancient traveler where the ocean hides.  
With a shell like armor, so strong and wise,  
She dances through currents, beneath the wide skies.

A journey of miles, through coral and foam,  
In the heart of...
