A fun and lovely poem, Lavonne. Thank you. Calls out to me with my own love of the divine turtle!. The idea crosses my mind that Kay started with a sonnet, the last two lines as one, and then thought better of it. Tom

Thanks, Lavonne. Much enjoyed! I love turtles. Even awkward ones.

Yes, Kay is the United States Poet Laureate. She has won numerous prizes including four pushcarts. A prize for which our own John Yamrus has been nominated several times!
