My Little Pokey





                                                                  Pokey is
                                                   three toed and green,
                          turtle,             super lean and never mean.   
                         Queen        of this castle. Never causes a hassle.
                         Wishes   for jaccuzis, kisses, and worm filled dishes.
                          Shows wisdom in her eyes deeper than her shell size.
                                               Dances to            rock 'n roll.
                                               Embodies            an old soul.



The above poem was written for my turtle Pokey who I've had since I was 15 years old.  I also recently revived the blog I once started in her honor, Pokey's Pals.  Come on over to see some turtle news, photos, videos, and more.

This rhyme is being shared in Poetry Pantry #31.  Come on over and join in the fun!

I am also sharing this poem in the Thursday Poets' Rally



I would also like to thank Jingle Poetry and my fellow poets who voted for me to receive the Celebrate Poet Award.  I'm honored to place well in the tally and overjoyed my rhymes aren't ignored.
