On Finding a Baby Turtle


source

I tried to get a photo of the baby box turtle I uncovered this past weekend, but it re-hid itself before I could get my camera! This is what it looked like, though. So cute!

Perfectly small
Mistaken for a stone at first
Perfectly small
Tiny turtle begins to crawl
In one direction, then reversed
In piles of dead leaves, he’s submersed
Perfectly small

A Cheerio to Cheerios: A Rondelet

Circles of oats
Tiny life rings bob in my bowl
Circles of oats
Tasty cereal, each piece floats
So nutritious, grains are kept whole
Good for your heart and for your soul
Circles of oats
