Turtle and Hare

Poetry, Rhyme / Rhythm 5 Comments

Turtle brisk on the sandy beach
Hurtle on the grass is the hare

As the peaceful turtle brisk to nest its eggs into the sands
But hare anxiously hurtle to escape from the hunter

Blast from the dart gun but
Last bullet shoots into bun on picnic mat

Though most grasses bust into
Tiny particles of green dust

Safely the hare runs before the jungle
Bravely sneer the hunter before it fades from his sight

Inspired from the words, “turtle hurtle” and “bust dust”. Gradually, my imagination ran wild and thank God to help me to find the right words.

The Turtle’s Eyes

Free Verse, Poetry Leave a comment

The turtle’s eyes is so big
The turtle’s eyes is very big
The turtle’s eyes is extremely big
The turtle is scary
The turtle is scaring me
I am scared of the turtle
I am fearful of the turtle
I am frightened of the turtle.
NO! NO! NO!
I don’t want to see it.

Once,
An object of cuteness amongst my school
Now,
An object of fear frightens my toddler.

A large eyes green turtle.

I am aghast.
I am speechless.
Why?

During my studies in my art school, I sculpted a cute clay, turtle with Manga type big eyes. In the school, my sculpted turtle received cute appraisals from my lecturers and classmates. Shockingly, my toddler is fearful of it. This rendered me aghast and speechless.
