Galapagos Poems - Poems about Galapagos

I am a Giant Galapagos Tortoise

I may be almost four foot long,
but you scare me a bit
I shall retract my neck and head into my shell
what are you doing in Galapagos anyway?

yes, I am reclusive, so please go away
I will live to be one

the big turtle of Galapagos

The big turtle of Galapagos.

Turtles, in general, are not good at communicating

many ships had run ashore on the island
She had been ashore laying egg in a hollow

In precious things to keep

For millions of years, these

I didn’t mind being called an ignoramus,
The class was divided; about half thought it was a compliment,
But I knew she was calling me some sort of big lizard.
I was happy that it wasn’t dimwit or blockhead.

Lizards of Galapagos

Lizards of Galapagos

Lizards on Galapagos are large
With appendages going this way and that
Not human in most regards
Iguanas crawl and that’s not all
They dance the Fandango but not the Hula
(In consideration of the rules)
We are happy to report
They eat flesh but not in church
Sex is forbidden as well
In isles and in pews
All creatures on Galapagos have
