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.
