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 AP: 3rd place 2022 Submitted on November 24, 2019 for contest SEAGULLS by EVE ROPER - RANKED 2ND

Interesting angle on seagulls: Never thought of how they glide above us, oblivious to and of us. Neat! :) gw

One may say that you have flown among the seagulls for to be able to describe so vividly their behavior dearest, Line! Melodic Pantoum !

You have captured the apparent demeanour of seagulls beautifully here, Line. Very well observed and written.

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.

Beautiful imagery, Bette. I can absolutely see the attraction to a shrimp boat.

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.

Indeed, they care about our food not us. LOL

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

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
