THE TURTLE WINS

Slow, slow,
Don't go.
Ease up
on the gas.
Don't go so fast.
Find a hammock.
Take a rest.
Sometimes,
going slow 
is best.

    In the fable of the tortoise and the hare, it is the slow and steady tortoise who wins the race.  Your poetry challenge for today is to write a poem about stopping to smell the roses.  Have fun writing.

  2. Joy,
    There's a time for slow,
    Medium, or fast.
    Lessons from today
    or those from the past.
