Red-Eared Slider V, VI, VII, VIII
Weekly Poem (Audio)
In case you missed parts I - IV:
This is the second installment of my long poem Red-Eared Slider. I will include an audio of the full poem with the final post. I’m including the text as image files to preserve the line indentations.
“Red-eared Slider” is my memoir in verse. All of it true—even the fiction.
(from mixed states. Wigestand forlag. 2009)
The entire poem is also available in Mercy Island, Published by Phoenicia Publications.
Thanks so much for reading/listening! I’d love to read and share more nature poetry. If you have a poem you’d like included in Substack notes, just drop the link in my chat, and I’ll be sure to read and restack it. You might also find other poems you’d like to share.
The chat is open to all subscribers—free and paid.
I’ll be back again this week with another process journal entry.
Until then, I hope you have a great week!
Warmly,
Ren
