Publisher's Synopsis
When Turtles Whisper presents a compilation of poems based upon Cecelia Gartrell Evans's life experiences, recounting the moments that are most memorable to her. Whether explaining how the whispers of turtles helped her to handle disappointments as a child, chronicling past hurts and loves, or offering advice to parents, her poetry evokes emotions to which everyone can relate. Her musings are presented in verse; some are serious, while others are whimsical, but all relate her innermost feelings. There is something for everyone, young and old, in this charming collection. TURTLE VISITS I'd love to have you visit That is if you won't mind Never coming inside my house; For there is only room for one. We can walk and talk As we spend days together, Admire the sights and Eat out in the open. Then in privacy keep our nights Pondering what happened that day, For you will sleep in your house And I will sleep in mine. 'Cause in a turtle's home, Like I said before There is only enough room, For One!
