While I was trying to grow a turtle shell…


I suppose,

I will sit here 

with a handful of feathers…

ready to paint the sky,

try 

to grow  a turtle shell,

line by line by 

line,

wander

through wisps of strips looking for lettuces

and in a blink of an eye-

litter grasses with leaves from places I’ve been…

I suppose those who picnic nearby 

may say

what a very ordinary extraordinary tortoise 

or then again,

they may not,

but that doesn’t really change anything does it?

imprints are still left 

on feathers..

Hi, my name is Kae Bucher. Thanks for stopping by. I was born in the Florida Keys, but grew up in the Bay Area before migrating south for college. I completed my bachelor’s in English at Fresno Pacific University in California, where I minored in Christian ministry. I have also had the privilege of serving as a youth pastor. In addition to teaching special needs students and raising four children, I also studied Special Education as a graduate student at FPU. I have now been writing for over twenty years. Recently, I have written articles for iPatriot, and I am in the process of converting my front room into a greenhouse. I like storing humor and greenery, weeds and poetry, in mental tin cans. You will find my humanitarian dreams and political leanings organized accordingly. Feel free to dig through my buckets…
