Squalling seagulls sip the morning sunshine
Greeting new sun, spanning over vast sea
Wailing upon hills, watching freedom shine
Sprinkling over prairies echoes of glee

Greeting new sun, spanning over vast sea
Sailing air on pointed bills and webbed feet
Sprinkling over prairies echoes of glee
Grabbing fish, hunting crabs, feasting on treat

Sailing air on pointed bills and webbed feet
Circling green oceans, conquering blue sky
Grabbing fish, hunting crabs, feasting on treat
Reigning winds, above the cliffs, thrusting high

Circling green oceans, conquering blue sky
Traversing sunlit designs, boasting zest
Reigning winds, above the cliffs, thrusting high
Flaunting flexing wings of enchanting quest

Traversing sunlit designs, boasting zest
Glancing marigold scenes on amber arc
Flaunting flexing wings of enchanting quest
Eyeing gilded tides where golden rays spark

Glancing marigold scenes on amber arc
Wailing upon hills, watching freedom shine
Eyeing gilded tides where golden rays spark
Squalling seagulls sip the morning sunshine

An excellent write and example of showing and not telling. I felt like I was looking through the eyes of the seagull. Happy new year Vijay!

This is beautiful Vijay: The pantoum form really captures the seagulls in flight. It was Ike standing and watching them swoop. Mesmerizing, Best, SuZ

You did this really well Vijay... It's always difficult to keep to a syllable count and have rhyme... This one flows very well. When I first started doing contests, I used to encourage these types of pantoums..

Vijay Pandit
Date: 12/24/2019 7:24:00 AM

Yes--the syllable count is always tough to tackle--much appreciate, SO--many thanks.
