Based on what is happening in the beginning of the
poem, what sound do the repeated "buhs" most likely
connect with?
breaks from the blue-black
skin of the water, dragging her shell
with its mossy scutes
across the shallows and through the rushes
and over the mudflats, to the uprise,
to the yellow sand,
to dig with her ungainly feet
a nest, and hunker there spewing
her white eggs down
| into the darkness, and you think
- "The Turtle,"
Mary Oliver
o the laying of eggs
O building a nest
O coming out of the water
O sliding across the beach
