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!”

Just wanted to let you know I 'borrowed' this for the 20 titles from 20 friends' contest - I promise I'll return it in good condition!

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

Thank you! ...Yeah, those seagulls are pretty greedy! ;D

I love seagulls. They took my Cornish pastry once and it hurt. But Jonathan Livingston Seagull rocks. Kind wishes, Kai

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!!

I can't take credit for the clever idea of splitting the lines up... as I mimicked this form from a poetry reference book! ;)

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".

Aaawww, thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it, my friend! ;)

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!

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
