Rhona Mcferran Poet Triolet

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!”

Michelle Faulkner July 21, 2019 at 11:08 PM 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! Rhona Mcferran July 22, 2019 at 3:57 PM Okay... just don't ruffle their feathers!! hahaha ;D

Andrea Dietrich July 20, 2019 at 8:17 PM hmmm, it's kind of a triolet! The formatting is really awesome and I love this , Rhona. Rhona Mcferran July 22, 2019 at 3:56 PM Thank you so much, my friend! ;)

David William Breidenthal July 7, 2019 at 1:29 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 Rhona Mcferran July 7, 2019 at 10:07 PM Thank you! ...Yeah, those seagulls are pretty greedy! ;D

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

Michelle Faulkner April 18, 2019 at 10:54 AM This is exactly what seagulls sound like to me, great job! Rhona Mcferran April 18, 2019 at 11:54 AM Thanks, Michelle! ;))

Andrea Dietrich April 10, 2019 at 5:05 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!! Rhona Mcferran April 10, 2019 at 9:58 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 April 7, 2019 at 2:49 PM Adorable and whimsical. Loved this Rhona Mcferran April 7, 2019 at 11:03 PM Thank you, my friend! ;)

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

M. L. Kiser April 4, 2019 at 6:01 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". Rhona Mcferran April 4, 2019 at 8:13 PM Aaawww, thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it, my friend! ;)

Caren Krutsinger April 3, 2019 at 9:50 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! Rhona Mcferran April 3, 2019 at 11:02 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
