Charlie the turtle wore clouds on his back, A soft little blue one, fluffy and soft. His eyes shimmered gently with a big tear wobbling, For people kept saying, “There are too many turtles!”

“Too many turtles! Please, not one more!” The words felt heavy. His small heart felt sore.

Rebel grew quiet. Her pencil felt slow. Should turtles keep coming? Should turtles now go? But Charlie peeked out from his blue cloud shell And whispered, “Dear Rebel, draw what you love.”

“Some people love dragons with fire in the sky. Some people love skulls with a mischievous eye. Some love bright flowers or robots or art, And you, dearest Rebel, love turtles at heart.”

“Art isn’t counted like coins in a jar. It isn’t "too many." It's who we are. If turtles aren’t someone’s favorite delight, That’s perfectly fine, they can choose what feels right.”

Rebel smiled softly. “For those who love turtles, We’ll keep shining bright.”

And Charlie’s blue cloud grew lighter that day, For love doesn’t vanish when others say nay.
