Joyful Seagulls
A squabble of white seagulls dance and twine
with v-shaped wings aflutter in the breeze;
above the ocean's whitecap-wave design,
they greet the day with joyful calls that please.
With v-shaped wings aflutter in the breeze,
creating whirling patterns that unfold,
they greet the day with joyful calls that please-
squawks echoing- united, loud, and bold.
Creating whirling patterns that unfold,
they mesmerize with flutters of their wings-
squawks echoing- united, loud, and bold,
while hunting food amid their gatherings.
They mesmerize with flutters of their wings
above the ocean's whitecap-wave design,
while hunting food amid their gatherings-
a squabble of white seagulls dance and twine.
