Poetry About Turtles
Poetry about turtles follows slow movement, pond water, sun-warmed logs, shells, old eyes, and the patient wisdom of a life that does not rush to prove itself.
A turtle carries shelter with it, teaching endurance, caution, persistence, and the dignity of arriving in one's own time.

Pond Log
A turtle resting in sun.
On the pond log,
the turtle lifted
its old green head
into morning.
Sunlight approved
of taking time.

Shell
Carrying home.
The shell was not
a burden.
It was home
shaped by danger
and carried
with patience.

Road Crossing
A slow brave journey.
Across the road,
the turtle moved
with ancient confidence.
Speed is not
the only proof
of wanting to live.
