Lone Gull

A bit of paper blown high Lone gull in an empty sky Listen closely hear it cry Ten thousand others close by

Whoa...so true, Daver! I don't know what their special vocal signal is, but many then arrive on the scene. Yesterday I was feeding bread to a pair of geese...one gull flew overhead, then hoards of them appeared! I tried driving them away by swinging the bag above my head. Then someone set their car alarm off, and they all flew away.:) The geese stayed though. Best wishes...Love, Mikki

Thanks for your comment on my med poem. Interesting... the only one that got it dead on ... must be my lack.... I'll work on er some ah reckon. Been reading over some of your poems I already read.

Wonderful poem, Daver! I've missed you as I've been traveling and moving. I'll have no internet or phone from Friday morning until Wednesday when the new phone is hooked up in Ormond Beach. I'm looking forward to reading about the lost violins! James Fraser and I cowrote a poem today when I took a little time out from packing. Nearly ready for the move now. Hope to hear from you soon! Love you! Carolyn
