Premium Member Slow Turtles

When traffic is flowing at eighty,
that pedal had better get weighty.
And in case you don’t know
it's unsafe to go slow,
so get in the right lane there, matey!

Darwin's finches.
Galapagos turtles kiss,
Snuggle together under the sun.
Webbed feet to swim
Our friend LeMarck was wrong
We can never get what we need 
When we need it.

The Shapes of Clouds

The blue 
Shape of 
This heart,
Yearning to 
Be free,
In this sea of 
White clouds
Forming shapes
Sea turtles and doves
Sailing above and
Still breathing, the shapes of clouds

Come sit upon the grass
Cast your eyes above where
Clusters of clouds float by
Castles, dragons, mountains,
Camels, turtles and ships
Creations in the sky

Premium Member A Pond’s Melody



 Ripples’ softened pitch
 rises as ducks glide around,
 Turtles' bubbled chants resound
 till frogs’ croons abound;
 Insects’ buzz and splashing fish
 lead Polyphonic Choired Pond

Chocolate turtles
Amazing taste to the last in line
Cashews alone are great
Chocolate kicks in the endorphins
Carmel is so sweet
Combine all three and the tasts 
Oh my the taste is better
It is better

Premium Member Four Pet Turtles

I once had four cute shiny pet turtles 
Taught them all to jump rope hoops and hurdles
For a grand finale
'Twas always quite funny
They would turn multiple shades of purples

Premium Member Two Aussie Freshwater Turtles

To God I thank you for the creation of nature,
so soothing to the soul
As I ran along a waterway observed two freshwater turtles
To God, once again I thank for the creation of nature 
it always makes me feel whole

Foreshadowing

Crows gather.
Turtles float deeper
on the buoyant pond scum.

It's going to be a beautiful day
in Alaska.

Here,
the crows are crowding trees,
breeding shadows.

The sky looks like it wants
their black wings.

Premium Member The Wind Chortled

The wind chortled
Just passing through
Teasing the ripples to white tips
Swaying trees twerked in her gusts
Hawks shrieked on a roller coaster down draft
Sunning turtles watched the duck down fly
Dragonflies didn’t

Wild Life

The snake is venomous.
It catches and eats a mouse.    
Eagles snatch prey with a sweep.
While turtles are camouflaged in the deep.
My knee is in pain due to dodgy cartilage,
possibly because of an active life and age.

baby turtles dart to sea -
moon, stars dance in waves

Ice cold
Slithering
Squishy welcome
Tickled by the worms
Softening Winter’s edge
Cheering the Jonquils sunrise
Awakening the pond turtles
Harbinger of Spring’s latent beauty
Soothing the hands of early gardeners

Premium Member Ancient Turtles

Turtles seem invincible but survival rate is small Ancient and nonaggressive, least threatening of them all Alive with the dinosaurs Extinction is at the door Since I was a boy, was intrigued and enthralled

Turtleman

Tenacious tender turtleman
Touching time in backwoods glory
Turtles in trouble treated with truth
Relocates pesky animals for safety
Fans laugh at his rainbarrel bath
Never saw a bar of soup....?
Natural for the naturalist

Top Ten Animals

I 
like dogs,
cats are nice,
rats not house pets.
Lizards, rabbits,snakes make me sweat and shake.
I would rather have turtles or pigs.
No hamster thou,
and no birds,
get a,
fish!

Premium Member The Hum of Sunrise

Quietly
The hum of sunrise
Awakens the day.
Cutting the familiar wake
Of an old butter knife
Un-noticed
Silent swans
Skirting the lily pads
Pass sunning turtles
Wary eyed muskrats
And bug-eyed frogs.

Turtle Wiggles Way To Sea

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

Premium Member Love

Love has never 
let me down...though
people sometimes lose
their way; but no heart
should ever beat long
alone; and no person 
should an island deserted stay 
--for even
turtles have their Shelly-mates,
and seabirds, their Soaring
Dates….

Premium Member spring promise CM

Life breath growing.
Doves dawning song,
Zephyrs blowing.

Daisies blooming
Waiting yearlong.
Showers looming.

Turtles swimming.
Frogs croaking throng.
Creeks near brimming.

Lushness supplying.
Blessings belong.
Rich life implying.
