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. Jan. 30, 2021

Hi Andrea, Personification poems are my favorite. You have taken on the sea gull’s identity and view flawlessly, I can empathize in it. And a sonnet too! So nice

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

In Malta seagulls come before a storm. Mostly they eat small fish but also all kind of food even in landfills. Lovely poem. ~~

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
