I am writing a poem in which the word turtle appears 12 times so far. I am quite proud of this fact. Of course, it’s also 1:55 am, so pretty much everything feels like a good idea right now. You could probably convince me that I should write a poem about rocks. Actually, this kind of is a poem about rocks.
Man, this is a great poem.
It could only get better if it was about turtles WHO rock. And they could call themselves The Who, in honour of that fact. I bet that’s how The Who came up with their name. By being turtles. It was a long acid trip, that one. Did The Who do acid? I am actually fairly ignorant when it comes to the drug preferences of classic rock bands. I should start a website devoted to listing what drugs famous people are known for taking. John Lennon and LSD, Amy Winehouse and cocaine. Turtles and acid.
or turtles who love rocks or!!! turtle who form a rock band with some rocks.
yeah…
or a sestina where every single line ends in turtles..
you know i’m going to want to read this right?
The turtles DO love the rocks. There is also a tent.
