About

When Turtles Whisper presents a compilation of poems based upon Cecelia Gartrell Evans’ life experiences, recounting the moments that are most memorable to her. Whether explaining how the whispers of turtles helped her to handle disappointments as a child, chronicling past hurts and loves, or offering advice to parents, her poetry evokes emotions to which everyone can relate. Her musings are presented in verse; some are serious, while others are whimsical, but all relate her innermost feelings. There is something for everyone, young and old, in this charming collection.

TURTLE VISITS

I’d love to have you visit
That is if you won’t mind
Never coming inside my house;
For there is only room for one.

We can walk and talk
As we spend days together,
Admire the sights and
Eat out in the open.

Then in privacy keep our nights
Pondering what happened that day,
For you will sleep in your house
And I will sleep in mine.

Cause in a turtles home,
Like I said before
There is only enough room,
For One!
