Turtle Poem

As I finished presenting to a 5th grade class at a school near of Seattle yesterday, an especially enthusiastic young student approached to show me the poem she wrote during the talk. Having no poetic skills, I was especially impressed with her skill and wanted to share it:

Turtles by Chance J:

Some turtles are big
Some turtles are small
Some turtles are nothing at all

Some live in water
Some live in sand
Some like it hotter

Some nest alone
Some nest together
The eggs are as light as a feather

They walk very slow
Slower than most
Watching them walk is like a slow show

Baby turtles are cute
As cute as a button
Even though they are mute
As mute as mutton

-Brad Nahill
