Pig-nosed Turtle

Sad turtles 

The large, slow, green, slimy turtle swims

Like a stingray

Swiftly, slyly, gently.

“Bubble, bubble” silently whispers the turtle

The large, slow, green turtle staggered with the heavy

Rock, the heavy burden

That it is always with.

It is a peaceful world.

Then

Flow in fastly, fancily,

Plastic,  everywhere!

Pain for turtle

It hurts so much. 

Searing hurt is all it feels

It cries ocean tears of sadness

Its head in a tangle.
