ROUND AND ROUND
Water goes around and round,
From the sky to the ground,
In a cycle you can't see,
Water comes to you and me!

Evaporation is a start,
but it's not the only part,

They get too big and the cloud pops

And the water falls as precipitation!
Rain and hail, sleet and snow,
Water falls so plants can grow.

EXCERPT from BABY TORTOISE
You know what it is to be born alone,
Baby tortoise!
------------------------------------------------
The first day to heave your feet little by little from the shell,
Not yet awake,
And remain lapsed on earth,
Not quite alive.
------------------------------------------------
A tiny, fragile, half-animate bean.
------------------------------------------------
To open your tiny beak-mouth, that looks as if it would never open
Like some iron door;
To lift the upper hawk-beak from the lower base
And reach your skinny neck
And take your first bite at some dim bit of herbage,
Alone, small insect,
Tiny bright-eye,
Slow one.
------------------------------------------------
To take your first solitary bite
And move on your slow, solitary hunt.
Your bright, dark little eye,
Your eye of a dark disturbed night,
Under its slow lid, tiny baby tortoise,
So indomitable.
------------------------------------------------
No one ever heard you complain.
