Andrea Dietrich Poet Sonnet

Sea Gull At Twilight

I’m soaring through a sunset – violet
as sun drips into water cobalt blue.
How peaceful is this twilight time. I let
my eyes take in the total gorgeous view.

My mates fly with me. Beachcombers we spy!
We squawk and squeal and circle with delight.
Then down to where the humans are we fly.
We need to look around while there’s still light.

Before the sun into the ocean dips,
I hope to find some food upon the ground.
I relish scraps of fruit and yummy chips!
Oh joy! I see my lovely mate has found
leftover crumbs. She shares them all with me.
How glad are we to be birds of the sea.

Tom Cunningham January 30, 2021 at 11:00 AM That brought back memories, I was feeding a flock on Reddington beach and they circled me grabbing the bread I offered them. The bird man of clearwater. Tom

Victor Buhagiar January 30, 2021 at 10:49 AM In Malta seagulls come before a storm. Mostly they eat small fish but also all kind of food even in landfills. Lovely poem. ~~

Carolyn Devonshire January 30, 2021 at 10:32 AM Hi Andrea, the gulls here like to be hand fed. Cereal is among their favorites. Your poem has lovely description and you give "personality" to your gull! Best wishes in the contest, Hon. Hugs, Carolyn
