Notes About The Poem

Seagulls At the Shore

Squalling seagulls sip the morning sunshine
Crashing surf brings fresh crustaceans ashore
Flocks of gulls scavenge in the summertime
Seen diving and fighting, hoping to score

Crashing surf brings fresh crustaceans ashore
A rogue wave sends a feeding pair in flight
Seen diving and fighting, hoping to score
A treasure to witness and watch their plight

A rogue wave sends a feeding pair in flight
Flocks of gulls scavenge in the summertime
A treasure to witness and watch their plight 
Squalling seagulls sip the morning sunshine

Tania, your lovely pantoum was so descriptive it made your photo come alive with the sights, sounds and even smells of seagulls at the shore. Nicely done! ~Mark
