where is the moon that
used to guide me home to breed -
gulls had no reply
they too can't see sky above ~
smudged by human stamps of smog
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 the sea, she finds her home.
Graceful and patient, a timeless ballet,
The gentle wanderer, forever at play.
Star of the Sea, dolorous and Byzantine,
throw your royal blue cloak over me,
She who weeps, La Llorona in Kahlo’s Casa Azul, paint my heart
gold under a prehistoric cobalt blue vault of heaven,
The blue! The blue! I am spellbound by the blue!
Lapis and lavender blues of a shining Limoges Mary
And lotuses on faded old Amarna tiles whisper me tales
binding me to the secrecy of an ethereal blue rose,
Azure tropical waves caress a shore strewn with white coral,
Lady Isis, come into a sea-turtle guided dream;
Sky blue rays and fiery blue flames, walk with me and scribe my
Destiny on your crystalline turquoise tablets in etheric Gothic,
Turn me into pure sapphire light,
I am swooning into the soothing blue of every iris and cornflower,
The strange bird that had been singing all along in my heart --
it is blue
Tsunami
Clinging to a tree my might is numb
Teeth chattering, soaked in seaweed I succumb
to the shores of doom, the tides violent surge
Adrift and marooned all owed to a sudden urge
After the party I woke up on a tropical island
Wild rainforest and coconut groves, tailor made in Thailand
The Turtle Island, underwaters heaven
We were seven, gone snorkeling the night before
None of which were ones who washed ashore
I heard scrambling voices from below
less those who didn’t survive the deathblow
Lungs spewing up ocean water, not the timeless turquoise,
but the stormy muddled wash, murky, writhing wildly
sirening a crushing noise
Twigs, glass, and storms debris rips through skin
Blood seeps down red rivers running thin
soaked thoroughly, bringing shivers
As tidal waves and ruthless rain cease their wells,
instinctively the islanders help each other through
the fallen landscapes
As the beached turtles struggle in their shells,
who once glided effortlessly in the sea
I know what I must do
Keep with the spirit of aloha
and stay until the sky becomes blue
Then set the turtles free
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 swim my weight around in the sea
enjoying my days floating and eating
not doing math of any kind
Colorful giant turtle delights in the sea
Swimming so relaxingly and happily.
I think this is what I will become, who I’ll be.
If reincarnation returns me other than me.
Colorful giant turtle delights in the sea
Swimming so relaxingly and happily.
I think this is what I will become, who I’ll be.
If reincarnation returns me other than me.
We can all take a lesson from the sea turtle. She does not travel thousands of miles or risk all for her ego. She has an instinct for greatness --- one that I believe is found in all living creatures.
Mary Alice
turtle hatch
when shores are bare
and warm
nesting by night
to shun exposure
to vultures
fire ring
hewn turtle
scared shell
by night storm
newborns rise
slight sloths rush to sea
will ne'er see their mum once
and
shed tears to clear eyes

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 watery graves.
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 to sleep.
I love the beautiful waters of the South American sea.
If you want to experience life, come and visit me.
The colors will be so dazzling, they will hurt your eyes.
You will have to wear goggles, no big surprise
I am eagerly waiting to introduce you to my kind of sea.
Just book a flight to Brazil and come follow me.
Existence of a Turtle
turtles have been born
they will wiggle way to sea
ride currents up the coast
they could be eaten
at any time in their lives
have to be careful
during their efforts
what they do is to head south
start a family
little sea turtle
racing toward the ocean waves
its new life begins.
There within the shell of isolated splendor
Tranquility oceans float them all about
To dream of waters tropical much warmer
Armored against the best and worst of hell
Yet turtles form no words to yell
But simply gurgle to themselves
Softly tumble on the waves of Somber
That tumble them about
As often as they go within themselves
Sometimes life has its hurdles
But there is one word and that is turtle
So happy to be tossed like salad
On a rolling swell, a wave of magic
That lands them on a beach so hard
Yet they remain so soft and mellow
Deep inside and peaceful where it counts
Sea turtles swim with smooth splashes,
Turquoise ocean colours sparkling in flashes,
Beautiful patterns printed on their shells,
Other creatures are enchanted by turtle spells,
Sea life is spectacular, magnificent, breath-taking,
Land creatures are nonetheless shaking and quaking,
We adore them all, from turtles to seals,
Although the fear is no longer the eels,
Humans in the word, they have no sanity,
I’m looking around to see decreasing humanity,
They’re polluting the lands, the seas, the air,
Hardly any one of our souls tend to care,
Sea turtles mistake plastic for food, now listen,
This causes blockages in their digestive system,
Without our sea turtles what would happen?
No seagrasses, affecting marine life, that’s what’s crackin’,
No marine life means no fish for land creatures,
People starve, birds go extinct, plus more features,
This means humans won’t live another day,
Yet do we really deserve the world anyway?
Boe the Eskimo
There is a little Eskimo named Boe
He loves to play on the ice and the snow
One day as he played on the ice, it cracked
Boe, in shock knew the odds against him were stacked.
Along came a kindly turtle called Jack
He said "I'll show the way, climb on my back"
So Boe jumped on board and off the two zoomed
What adventures they had as their friendship bloomed.
Boe saw sea creatures he'd not seen before
Marine plants aglow on the ocean floor
They danced with dolphins who move gracefully
Twisting and turning to sounds of the sea.
Then they spied large sharks coming at full speed
Both of them were awfully scared indeed
Their two hearts beating alike frenzied drums
Afraid of finishing up in sharks tums.
Suddenly Boe awoke from a dream
Ma and pa rushed in when they'd heard Boe scream
Boe said from now he'd do as he was told
When out playing on ice, he'd not be so bold.
