The Turtles' Tank Needs To Be Cleaned, There is no turning back. By Didi Menendez

I really enjoyed reading the poem The Turtles' Tank Needs Cleaned, There is no turning back. by Didi Menendez. What initially drew me to the poem was the title and how it basically written as two sentences put together but the second half wasn't punctuated like the first. This immediately provoked a lot of different thoughts about what this poem was going to be about. I really enjoyed hoe the poet linked each subject of a sentence to a previous time in her life. This gave the poem a good voice and great movement throughout. It also kept the reader involved (at least me) because of its simplicity. What really made it a great poem was how the title was incorporated in the beginning and the end of the poem that really solidified the poems meaning (theme) to me.
