This work has reached the exceptional level
Ode to a creature who knows how to be laid back.

Tarrying Turtle

by adewpearl


For all who can't relax.

Ancient, balking, barefooted creature,
deliberate dallier,
edge faithfully forward,
gaining half inches.

Judicious journeyer -
karmic, listlessly lazy.

Maintaining mannerly malaise,
no one's perky perambulator.

Quick response?
Someother time.

Undeniably unassuming,
verve-waning wayfarer
x-its,
yielding
yestermorning's zest.




Recognized


I have an exceptionally busy week coming up, so thought I'd remind myself that someone out there, at least, knows how to take it easy!
