Famosa Tortuga, Crema Bronceadora

Oil of turtle glides like warm silk
glistens on my skin
urges inland sunlight
to bring a bronze-like tint.

A nearby seashell fountain plays
sets the scent of ocean free,
creates a sudden hunger
to place a footprint in the sand.

Decision made, keys in hand
I shut the door behind me
drive toward the closest shore,
realize I'm stirred by turtle envy.

From New Hope International Review On-Line Paul McDonald, reviewer, said:  I also loved Sue Turner's succinct, painterly poem, Powdered Stones, which begins,
                terra-cotta tinted dust
                          led the wind
                          in a dance beyond my path
                 unrolled a screen
                           a sepia movie of soft motes
                           stamped visions of the past
Gloria Vando says:  'Sue Turner has a keen eye and ear. Her poems are filled with nature's sounds and colors and intrusive tiny creatures: crickets, squirrels, mice, sticky bugs. She is a writer who 'aches to swallow summer/without paring or pitting' and lucky for us, she has let us in on her adventure'
AND  New Hope International Review On-Line, Reviewer L. Kiew has this to say:
Sue Turner's punchy 
Love and Tomato Basil Soup explores the effect of the passage of time on love:
                  Quick queries of howya beens
                  promises of keeping in touch
                  and my unrequited love from
                  four decades ago departs once more.
                   My friend inquires.
                   'Wow, he's old!' I say.
