Seagulls' Fortitude

Squalling seagulls sip the morning sunshine Enthralled by their Creator*’s glowing rays Optimizing fidelity-strength’s sign Amidst freedom, devoid of panic trace. Enthralled by their Creator’s glowing rays They fly with clever versatility Amidst freedom, devoid of panic trace Boasting expression-repertoire’s beauty. They fly with clever versatility As migratory marked by persistence Boasting expression-repertoire’s beauty Along great avian intelligence. As migratory marked by persistence Birds are they of caring sweet attitude Along great avian intelligence To conquer prey for triumph’s fortitude Birds are they of caring sweet attitude Optimizing fidelity-strength’s sign To conquer prey for triumph’s fortitude Squalling seagulls sip the morning sunshine.

Your pantoum made me smile, I will look at seagulls in a new way now, Beata.
