Cinquain
The traditional cinquain is based on a syllable count. Twenty-two syllables in the following pattern (2-4-6-8-2): five lines, one word in the first line, two in the second line, etc.
The modern cinquain is based on a word count of words of a specific type.
Line 1 has one word (the title).
Line 2 has two words that describe the title.
Line 3 has three words that tell the action.
Line 4 has four words that express the feeling
Line 5 has one word which recalls the title.

Seagulls winged scavengers cleaning coastal waters loud, extremely quarrelsome birds scroungers.

Brilliant description of seagulls, you’ve described them Very well, sometimes i do have seagulls sitting on my the roof of my water rooms, and they can be pretty loud, and quarrelsome too. Winged scavengers is a clever line! Thank you for writing this cinquain. Congratulations on winning

Hello Emile, yes the seagulls know where to find food. if people are on a picnic they are there hoping to have some food. They are also in in the garbage dump for the same reason. My friend enjoy your evening. /Darlene\
