An Ode To An Amphibian Comments

Part - 2 laughing waves. She turtle buries her eggs on sandy shores and guards her progeny from all snares. When turtle makes sure that all around is safe and secure it comes out from its rocky shelter and when dangers lurk it shrinks back at once. This poem is a great ode to turtle, an amphibian. Thank you dear madam I vote ten for you.

Part - 1 You have so vividly captured the picturesque of a turtle in this poem. The turtle doesn't pitch a tent nor build a house to stay. Its carapace does the function of a house. As it is an amphibian it can live both in water and on land. It is companion to ravenous shark. It loves strolling along slimy strands and to dive down along with

Turtles are cool, people are scared.

Interesting write, very descriptive of a Turtle - enjoyed reading.

a nice record of a turtle, but, valsa, i was taught that a turtle is a reptile rather than an amphibian (see the title) . i thought you were going to speak of amphibians as i did (one kind at least) in my poem salamander. by the way, i enjoyed/appreciated your comment on mine. did you really hear that salamanders are extinct. who would say such a thing? ! but i have read numerous times that amphibians are feeling the ill effects of their changing environments. maybe someone was referring to a particular species of salamander. bri

A turtle withdraws itself to save its life and buries its eggs. Beware of turtle like humans. Nice poem.

A realistic depiction of stinking rich. Yes one of the wealthy Lord that I know linked the alarm to Police in case of any attempt to trespass.. The fifth stanza impresses most. Thanks.

An ode to a an amazing creature, turtle, it reminds me of Huxley's theory that man is an amphibian. So your poem can have more than one interpretations. The last line can be summed up: I know that I know nothing (scio me nescire) Socrates' Paradox, all wisdom begins with wondering. So ma'am it's all wisdom that you've described.

You explore nature with your poetry and paint a wonderful picture as well as paying a beautiful tribute.

Dear friend Tajudeen, Do I deserve so much? I am awed by your language and review of my poem! Thanks for your magnanimity!

See, This is what I said the day before! Your good self would keep exploring still wonderful lands, waters and skies, the skies beyond human imaginations; some glittering void where no stars, planets, meteor would ever appear within these destined, rather limited millions of centuries, of which luckily a few might remain unused as man might extinct in the immediate future by way or other. Here is the scientific and historic relevance of a birth like a tortoise. I expect, envision you crossing such limitations of the wonders of this creature enlisted. True to the core are they, still, only a few practical merits of this birth is where you have limited your imagination, where as this blessed bard could still explore the the blessings of being such a creature, rightly combined, compared and contrasted aquatic science, biology, cosmic wonders and most important of all the unexplored wonders of virgin imaginations. I am excited to read your verses, and imagine, your verses drive me to dive still deeper in pursuit of purest wisdom. Wonderful. God Bless.
