Seagull

arching
over rainbows
singing the present thought
since newborn, beats the sheltered heart
freedom

This is a beautiful cinquain, James! Thank you for your comments on Cool Man. Im learning so much about structure from you and our fellow Soupers - before, it was very much "seat of the pants"!

Reading you, as we speak, beginning with seagull poem Did I post my Ruminations in the Parking Lot? You would like it, I think. I live near the ocean on the barrier island where I was born. Lots of gulls. I love these beautiful birds. Thanks for comment on my new poem. It is title poem of new poetry collection I am working on. Nola

Seagulls in flight do represent freedom and I like the way you describe them "arching over rainbows." Beautiful cinquain, James! Love, Carolyn
