However, as Kerri Bland, I had to put something really symbolic and lesson-giving in there. I&#8217;m hoping it kinda evokes a feeling of happiness, but still hits you, y&#8217;know?<\/p>\n<p>Yet, I don&#8217;t have a specific thing the dinosaurs and turtles are supposed to represent. They&#8217;re just dinosaurs and turtles.<\/p>\n<p>The idea for this piece in particular came to me while I was making sugar free hot chocolate in a cactus cup, and then realized I had no straws to stir the powder with. It really kinda ruined my day, but it made me think about turtles. Please save the sea turtles.<\/p>\n<p>As for the dinosaurs, I just think they&#8217;re real cool. Like, they&#8217;re just big creatures that we use to make plastics and stuff. sometimes we dig up their bones in our yards. Its like unintentional grave robbing. Thats kinda cruel, but still. Then we put them on display to show people what we found while unintentionally grave robbing. Sometimes that thought keeps me up at night.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, let me know what you think!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I wrote this poem for a competition and it&#8217;s supposed to be pretty metaphorical.
