Turtle woman watches
space upon space
providing room
for her stories.
Like the garden she tends
her words grow.
A profusion of peonies blooms.
Who is Turtle Woman? What does she look like? What story does she have to tell you? Is there a Wolf Man? Can you write a poem about his story? Have fun writing.
I collect storyteller figures. This reminds me of them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYes, Rosi,
DeleteI was thinking of a Native American storyteller. I'd like to know more about your collection.
I was also thinking about the interdependence of the ants and the peonies.
DeleteMy mind jumped to outer space when I read this. ANd then I corrected myself. But then again, Turtle Woman could be a space creature, right? I like the juxtaposition of a Wolf Man.... A Cow Child... who knows what else?
ReplyDeleteCow Child, hmmmm. Very interesting idea. Click, Clack, Moo.
