I love turtles, they seem so generally unflappable, perhaps it is their understanding that hurrying and worrying are counterproductive. Thanks for a fun poem!

Your description is so clever, making our friend come alive.
He reminds me of the ones who are on the commerical for slow internet hook up.... moseying along, taking his time, enjoying the journey.
Very well done.

Comment from kassey
Your work and your vocabulary is priceless as is your imagination. You manage to get us to fall for all of these sometimes not too friendly looking animals and we all end up thinking how cute they are. Excellent as usual Kay

yes it does make me think of relaxing and taking things slowly, i think the choice of some of the more lazy type words is quite inspired

Another lovely nature poem. Great vocabulary words used in this piece. Clever phrases, " Quick response? Some other time." Great job. No suggestions..

Quick response?
Someother time. ...this is funny.
I took a picture of a snapping turtle outside my home, by the side of the road. When my neighbor picked it up, it reacted fast. lol.
Yes, they do seem to have no cares about getting anywhere fast, do they.
A very descriptive piece.

Hi adewpearl, Yes, it's me again. Once more your talent amazes me. Not a nit to pick. I wouldn't change a thing. Oops! this is not a nit, but in line 3, so you think edge should be edges?

Comment from Bryana
Your poem made me smile. How true some
of us don't know how to relax. On the other
hand the poor turtle can't move any faster! LOL
I love the words you so cleverly used.
Your poem was entertaining, nothing to change.
Thank you for the smile. Ana
