First! How are you doing? Thinking good thoughts about you. The gull is my favorite bird - such a flyer, such a swimmer! So beautiful. Yes! Though gulls usually have company, there is something so lonely and forlorn in their cry. Rick should love this one. LOve, daver

Carolyn, I loved your poem. At least your not like any other poets I've ever read, I do a style but you do all styles, but, I'm fine, and the Lord has blessed me with a lot of things in my life, and now maybe, another. How is our treatment going? Hopefully with prayers we with the Lord's help will come out of this all right, I say we because I'm their in Spirit if nothing else. God bless and keep your chin up and believe that God will do His mighty will.

[re title have you seen last line used as well as first? let me know!] Lines 1 & 2 are great! you need a cut which is not the poet telling the reader how to feel also past tense is never used in haiku, give a sensory input on line 3. BIG hugs

Beautiful but sad write, my friend. My mother feeds a seagull with a gammy leg here - it seems to be an outcast.
