Another poem post. Now, this is not about anything historical, its actually my first non-history related post since my first one. Nor is it looking at an artifact in a different way. “The Terrapin” is just a fun little poem I recently wrote at my girlfriend’s house, after finishing painting with her. It was a sort of challenge. We were trying to see what kind of poem I could just write out in my little notebook without much thought or planning in a short period of time. Below is what I got. I also did one about a sea horse, but that will take lots of work to polish up. I hope you enjoy!
"The Terrapin" By: Daniel Derasaugh A rock? No, a nice smooth stone. Rounded and painted by God. It moves! A small, cautious step. It looks around after a pause. It sees me! Don’t be scared. In its head and legs go! Now again; a round, painted stone.
