Thread: Let the Turtle . . .

Let the turtle fly with wings of water
Let him feel the peal of air currents
swift and crisp push power's pulse
and blind the night

Let its eggs fall and crack in Teflon pans
to boil and fry into flowers of thought,
enlightened pearls, smarter than Icarus
with wet wings, would sooner snuff out
the sun than be scorched and sizzled by it

Let the wings cry blue cold tears to found
fertile thought
Establish turtle-like hopefulness of eternal
gummed smiles

Let the turtle fly with wings of water
To escape a fate like pigs to slaughter

I simply love the last two lines.

Let its eggs fall and crack in Teflon pans
to boil and fry into flowers of thought,
enlightened pearls,

Establish turtle-like hopefulness of eternal
gummed smiles

These were my favorite lines, Hoot, great imagery in these.

The images are beautiful. I really enjoyed this poem a lot!
