I appreciate all the detail that went into them, now having done some of this myself. It is not an easy thing to do, to get into someone else’s work and then work with what is there. Thanks.
I think there was some misunderstanding that I just let slip. I’m not pretending to be a turtle as the voice of the poem. I am imagining what it would be like when I do mention the turtle. See the difference? I am on a cliff looking down imagining jumping and the feelings involved in feeling like wanting to jump.
