June,
This is a well written and illustrated poem about the life a sea turtle. She returns to the beach where she was born to have her children and hope they all make it to the water before they die.
There is a Hallmark move about this about a couple who fall in love because they are both trying to keep the sea turtle safe.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Thank you! I think I may have seen that Hallmark movie about rescuing sea turtles. lol I just wish more people were aware of the fragile web of life that connects man to the animals. IF they go, we're next! I appreciate your dropping by to read.

No problem, June. You are so right.

June this is a wonderful and well-written poem about the amazing life cycle and journey of the sea turtle. I can only imagine how difficult it is to write a loop poem.
I enjoyed the read.
Best wishes

Well done with your Loop poem June. All your loop words work beautifully to tell the story of the turtles that go back to their birth beach to breed. That, I find is another amazing feat of nature. Lovely presentation, cheers.

Animals are amazing, but more than that, the one who made them is most amazing, birds fly unerringly south for winter, salmon return to their birthplace to spawn a die, they are not reasoning creatures, that is something beyond rational explanation, beautifully written June, great rhyming, articulate and skilful, blessings Roy

All creatures, great and small, are a testament to the amazing God of heaven and earth. It's a shame when man not only does not appreciate His handiwork, but end up hurting them with their greed and selfish endeavors. Thank you for sharing your insights.

Comment from juliaSjames
Excellent form for your informative and inspiring loop poem, June..I love that you write most of it from the POV of the turtle..My goddaughter swam with a sea turtle in the Grenadines. Only for a short while. But the video was magical. Effortless grace of the turtle at home in the sea.
Beautiful illustration
Best of luck in the contest
Stay safe and blessed

I'm glad yor goddaughter was able to swim with these gentle and beautiful creatures. I've swam with dolphins, but not turtles. Nature is inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to share your sentiments.

Sea turtles are such sweet and gentle creatures. I do worry about destruction of the coastlines that would affect their homing instincts. They need to be treasured and protected. Thank you for taking the time to read and share your sentiments.
Comment from BethShelby
Nicely done loop poem. The information is amazing. There are many thing in nature that will blow you mind and this is one of them. I don't understand how that is even possible but there is much I don't understand.

Comment from PoemsOfDD
This is a great loop entry. The verses connected by the loop of words are well rhymed with the content being educational as well as thoughtful. I especially enjoyed the final verse which acts as a reminder of how easy it is to overlook and neglect the underworld species. Your author's notes are appreciated and very interesting. Thank you for sharing and best of luck in the competition.

Your loop contest poem reads well, June. Your lines flow smoothly with good rhymes according to the rules and great descriptions. The art choice is a great pairing with your well thought out words. It is sad the beaches change for the turtles by man's hand. Even the artificial lights on condos etc. near the beach upsets them.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from pome lover
at first, I thought there was some kind of fish that did this, because of the picture, but it's a good Loop poem about the sea turtle.
Well done. Pretty poem and good info in your remarks.
When you say, magnetic field, I assume you mean figuratively - it draws them. They're fun to watch in videos. I've never seen them, live.
good entry.
