Turtle Poems - Poems about Turtle

The day the hour, The meat the shower, Show no oscillating octopus to an octagonal obelisk and eat a Greek tortilla upside down in a second. It is wiser to tread lightly in a miller’s abode. Round and round the turrets go those turtles so mind your footing for shells can be slippery really. When shopping for an...

I. The night was as thick as melted asphalt when her prehistoric form emerged like a monument in the sand and each egg that descended spiked the air with the scent of birth, sweet, pungent, and female.
