Eve Roper Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Seagulls Take Flight

Seagulls Take Flight 


Rose strolled alone on a warm sandy beach

as salty sea foamy waves crept to reach

net her toes as the wind rose 

She Jump from getting wet toes 

instead fell back on her butt with a screech



Beach bumming seagulls came flying around 

while Rose sat embarrassed on the wet ground

Plop! Whitewash flopped on her head

then up to the air they fled 

flapping, squawking, with snapping hungry sounds
