this was written about a 250 yr old turtle that died in 2005. I felt sentimental toward him...

What beauty have you seen? Many changings of the sky Two hundred and fifty years Slowly pacing by What wonders have you seen old one? Marvels beyond my mind Tell me all your stories wise one Were all of those years kind? Ninety thousand days Not all of them at peace No doubt you dreamt of freedom tired of seeing only knees What knowledge do you hide Beneath your heavy shell? Now that you’ve passed on There’s no way you can tell

A wonderful tribute to an equally wonderful creature of nature. The changes of the turtle's habitat over the span of 250 years would have left the turtle with a lot to discuss, if he would have had the means to do so. Then again, how much did he really see, considering the slow, carefree nature of turtles?

A sweet tribute, Emily. Thank you.

Jill

I''m not sure what this is. It didn''t explain itself as it spilled into it''s home in my notebook; it simply insisted it belonged in there somewhere.

Daydreams

My mother wrote this for my cat, Dusty. He was, and is, my best friend ( my boyfriend runs a VERY close second). we recently had to put him to sleep.

Dusty's song

This was a required declaration of individuality for a project I did on Thoreau, an other great thinkers. It is based on Watt Whitman''s famous yawp "
