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\
