Tortoise! Poem by Juliet Languedoc

The qualities of a tortoise
is powerful of which many
might consider complex because
of its nature.

As you know it's of the reptile
species and carries no frowns
but it is distinguished from
a turtle since it dwells on
land.

You are getting the point its
shell is not just for style
it is to protect from predation
and all other threats.

We are not finished as yet it
symbolizes what is birthed from God
which are wisdom and knowledge
you don't mind all about its
venerable, certain diminutive,
enormous metal, slow and painstaking
movements.

The tortoise defends itself on its
own. It is a long-lived reptile and
personifies water as well as life.

Since it generally lives long, it has
endurance marked with longevity.
This is exciting it possesses many
virtues mortal find so hard to keep
such as patience, knowledge, and
stability a tortoise has that ability!
