Seagull Soiree

The Seagull Soiree Is underway At least a thousand of them Fill the sky In seemingly haphazard Flight Stopping and starting As they’re darting in the air But perhaps they are really doing Their farewell dance to summer Swirling whirling Laughing and squawking Their avian talking As they head off To parts unknown So long, Summer Seagulls Until we meet again September 5th 2009

Beautiful and sad in away to see them leave. You know winter is upon us then. Thank you for sharing Corinne. Love, Carol

Just today I was at the beach watching the seagulls "swirling, whirling" and enjoying the heavy winds from the hurricane that is out in the Atlantic. Love the way you describe their "farewell dance to summer." (Here in Florida, they're year-round residents.) Delightful read, Corinne! Love, Carolyn

They beautiful in flight. Along the beach facing the wind just kinda bouncing. You have so aptly described them here. Keep writing. Sara
