Galapagotian rhymes for Open Link Monday

I have no idea if that is a word...Galapagotian...my computer seems to think it isn't, but it suits me. Our present busy travel schedule all started with a trip to the Galapagos Islands in 2006 and we have been traveling ever since. Round and 'round the world we go, where we'll stop, nobody knows.

Sigh.

A few lines of this came to me the evening of Friday, the 13th of June, and other lines kept coming, so I am saving it all for Open Link Monday at the Imaginary Garden with Real Toads. I'm hoping I can be back to contributing regularly soon.

I don't believe I have any toad photos from the Galapagos Islands, but I have plenty of other fun creatures.

one foot, two foot

red foot, blue foot

and another one

on the way

marine iguana

land iguana

hadn’t much to say

and nazca booby

turned his head away

sea urchins large

and sea urchins small

they neither lurch nor sway

and penguins

and sea lions

                                                      I love them both

this lonely fellow                       

                                           perhaps the most

hello can your husband come out to play?

no we can look but we cannot stay

moonscape with frigate bird

ship’s mast with more

and then on the shore

birds and animals galore

  lava lizards  

   flamingos

flightless cormorants and more

  

     and we mustn’t forget

     Darwin’s delight

     a finch upside down

     and one upside right

     about which science

     for long years would fight

and last but not least

no not least at all

the galapagos tortoise

the oldest of all
