Seagulls At Winter


The crying seagulls spoon midair — 
Their December tongues slow to moor;
On wings in sky like a white tear.
The crying seagulls spoon midair — 
Within their chase, coming to spare
A dirge for ice's front on shore — 
The crying seagulls spoon midair,
Their December tongues slow to moor.

Dear Paige, I think the repetition works like a tide, pulling me the reader back into the same suspended moment, as if the scene refuses to move forward. It left me thinking about how certain images don’t just describe a season, they become the season, holding onto us. Autumn Blessings, Dear Paige, Daniel

Whenever we go to a sea or beach, we can site so many seagulls. At sunset, it is a joy watching them returning to their nests. A lovely triolet, dear friend.
