Haiku - Red-eared Sliders

Jaws and TJ

 

turtle stretches neck
snaps at hand that gently holds
returned to nature

~~

red stripes, mottled back
strong shell protects from all but
collections of man

~~

tiny feet propel
claws rip anachoris leaves
us fascinated

My words, your decision to leave them here… a good thing.

    To me, turtles always seem to give off that “just leave me alone” vibe :) Well done, Marcia. Hope you’re having a good week.


    Our turtles certainly did! Thanks, Bone.
