Gregory Richard Barden Poet Pantoum

Notes About The Poem

Seagulls and Scarecrows

I, a salty scarecrow, roam the shoreline
          The moon melts soft like butter on the reach
               Squalling seagulls sip the morning sunshine
     While dropping clams to split upon the beach

The moon melts soft like butter on the reach
          Thus drizzling heaven's hem with Hollandaise 
               While dropping clams to split upon the beach
     The giggling gulls high-dive the dawning haze

Thus drizzling heaven's hem with Hollandaise
          The bisque horizon christens bright, the morn
               The giggling gulls high-dive the dawning haze
     Oh such as this, should all good days be born

The bisque horizon christens bright, the morn
          Squalling seagulls sip the morning sunshine
               Oh such as this, should all good days be born
     I, a salty scarecrow ... roam the shoreline.
