Andrea Dietrich Poet Free verse

Sea Gull's Brunch

A lone gull,
white breasted
pecked and pecked 
at flecks of snow on the ground -
a curious delight this February day,
but what could be found
in nature's freshly poured flakes
to sate the bird's appetite?

She turned and soared away on wings of grey.

Monterey Sirak February 28, 2014 at 7:28 AM Beautiful, but it is so sad for the gull. I see him flying off with his head drooping.

Well, TYSM again for sharing & for everything. Good luck in the contest. Biggest hugs! love & miss u, Leonora

Robert Johnson February 27, 2014 at 5:27 PM White and grey, it pecked away at flakes that winter day. To it's dismay, there was no pay. That's when it flew away. Ok, that's enough of this rhyme. I just reminded myself of Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore. It just may. :) Peace. :)

Connie Marcum Wong February 27, 2014 at 4:01 PM A little Gem Andrea. This contest must have closed. I can't keep up there are so many.
