Seagulls Talking

Seagulls talking
what's the matter?
fussy squawking
seagulls talking...
Waddle walking
pavement patter-
Seagulls talking
what's the matter?

Birds discussing
“Took my breadcrumb!”
Angry fussing
birds discussing
seagull cussing
“Hey, I want some!”
birds discussing
“Took my breadcrumb!”

J.W. Earnings Date: 7/7/2019 1:29:00 AM Very witty and playful poem here. Seagulls once took my bad of Takis and I was mad haha but I forgave them and got another bag later. -JWE Login to Reply Rhona Mcferran Date: 7/7/2019 10:07:00 PM Thank you! ...Yeah, those seagulls are pretty greedy! ;D

Kai Michael Neumann Date: 6/1/2019 3:54:00 AM I love seagulls. They took my Cornish pastry once and it hurt. But Jonathan Livingston Seagull rocks. Kind wishes, Kai Login to Reply Rhona Mcferran Date: 6/1/2019 5:48:00 PM Yeah, seagulls are great (if a bit greedy)... Thanks, and kind wishes to you, too! ;)

Michelle Faulkner Date: 4/18/2019 10:54:00 AM This is exactly what seagulls sound like to me, great job! Login to Reply Rhona Mcferran Date: 4/18/2019 11:54:00 AM Thanks, Michelle! ;))

Andrea Dietrich Date: 4/10/2019 5:05:00 PM Loving this one again as I notice that you cut the lines in half and did two triolets so ended up with about the same number of syllables as in one!! Login to Reply Rhona Mcferran Date: 4/10/2019 9:58:00 PM I can't take credit for the clever idea of splitting the lines up... as I mimicked this form from a poetry reference book! ;)

Andrea Dietrich Date: 4/7/2019 2:49:00 PM Adorable and whimsical. Loved this Login to Reply Rhona Mcferran Date: 4/7/2019 11:03:00 PM Thank you, my friend! ;)

John Lawless Date: 4/4/2019 7:10:00 AM ...sounds like dinner in a house full of kids..... Login to Reply Rhona Mcferran Date: 4/4/2019 8:14:00 PM Hahahaha! Hadn't thought of it that way... but it does! ;)

M. L. Kiser Date: 4/4/2019 6:01:00 AM Well, that is rather a great offense, e.g., to take one's bread crumb. You have painted the perfect cartoon image of seagulls chit-chatting. A "Fav". Login to Reply Rhona Mcferran Date: 4/4/2019 8:13:00 PM Aaawww, thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it, my friend! ;)

Caren Krutsinger Date: 4/3/2019 9:50:00 PM Bow! Bam! Crack! This poem reminds me of all the most fun reasons I love onomatopoeia! Which brings me to another thought. You have created such a fun, whimsical darling poem! I can hardly wait to see what you will be posting tomorrow night, my soul sister! Login to Reply Rhona Mcferran Date: 4/3/2019 11:02:00 PM This poem literally swooped down in front of me today! I'd just gotten out of my car (in a grocery store lot) when these seagulls landed in front of me and waddled around fussing over some bread someone had thrown on the pavement... It tickled me so much I had to scribble something down right away! ;D
