Line Gauthier Poet Pantoum

Seagull Insight

White winged creatures in flight across the blue
Their wingspan peaceful slicing through thin air
They've no use for the likes of me and you
Of our troubles seagulls shrug just don’t care

Their wingspan peaceful slicing through thin air
Our hustle seems to them frightly cliché
Of our troubles seagulls shrug just don’t care
Won't bother to give us the time of day

Our hustle seems to them frightly cliché
 Lessons learnt for a life without confine
Won’t bother to give us the time of day
Squalling seagulls sip the morning sunshine

Lessons learnt for a life without confine
They've no use for the likes of me and you
Squalling seagulls sip the morning sunshine
White winged creatures in flight across the blue

Gershon Wolf November 27, 2019 at 2:57 PM Interesting angle on seagulls: Never thought of how they glide above us, oblivious to and of us. Neat! :) gw Line Gauthier November 27, 2019 at 3:01 PM yeah... they don't give a hoot. LOL

Demetrios Trifiatis November 27, 2019 at 8:19 AM One may say that you have flown among the seagulls for to be able to describe so vividly their behavior dearest, Line! Melodic Pantoum ! Line Gauthier November 27, 2019 at 3:02 PM Thanks for your very charming compliment, Detetrios.

Geoffrey Brewer November 27, 2019 at 12:47 AM You have captured the apparent demeanour of seagulls beautifully here, Line. Very well observed and written. Line Gauthier November 27, 2019 at 7:29 AM Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Geoffrey.

Panagiota Romios November 26, 2019 at 8:52 PM Really Good, Line. My best in the contest" Line Gauthier November 26, 2019 at 9:47 PM Thanks, Panagiota. Much appreciated.

Bette Bavington November 25, 2019 at 9:39 AM While traveling the open seas I saw the beautiful, graceful, and pretty amazing Seagull. It has the skill in so many ways to steal food. They are a cloud when flowing a shrimp boat. Lovely reminder. Nicely done. Line Gauthier November 25, 2019 at 6:07 PM Beautiful imagery, Bette. I can absolutely see the attraction to a shrimp boat.

Jennifer Proxenos November 25, 2019 at 2:10 AM All seagulls are just interested in spreading their wings in a a clear blue sky, not a care in the world, just cruising, wont bother to give us the time of day - they do tend to have human contact though if they can steal a meal. A brilliant entry for the contest, good luck Line. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Line Gauthier November 25, 2019 at 6:08 PM Indeed, they care about our food not us. LOL

Regina Mcintosh November 25, 2019 at 12:59 AM A wonderful entry for the contest. I really love it, especially "Won’t bother to give us the time of day"... they won't of course. Lovely poem. Love, Gina Line Gauthier November 25, 2019 at 1:23 AM Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Gina.

Caren Krutsinger November 25, 2019 at 12:49 AM I know nothing about seagulls, so defer to you, my friend. It sounds like you know them well. Line Gauthier November 25, 2019 at 1:24 AM Thanks for your visit and comment, Caren.

Connie Marcum Wong November 24, 2019 at 11:26 PM They cut a dashing sight across the skies and I love to sit nearby the sea and watch their antics. They are not above swiping a meal from one another or from unsuspecting humans either. I enjoyed your poem Line. This form is challenging for me. You did an excellent job on your entry. Happy holidays! : ) xxoo Line Gauthier November 25, 2019 at 1:24 AM Thanks, Connie. Seagulls certainly are fun to watch.
