Notes About The Poem

The Gulls

Early in the morning as the quiet of night is fading,
        I hear the kakakaka  akakak of the gulls calling;
and outside my window they glide in a swooping dance,
as night turns into a blue sky, they twirl and swirl and glide.
     Drifting on the breeze with wings outspread,
above tall majestic maples they just hover;
     then, suddenly they are gone from view.
Gone the beauty to farmers crops that ripple in the sun-
to parks and water they rest and feed 'till day fades to sunset.

Paul Callus October 18, 2018 at 3:27 PM You aptly describe these seagulls while appealing to our senses, Constance. Reminds me of when last July I stayed at Ostend and each morning I was awakened by the 'kakakaka akakak of the gulls calling'! ~ Regards // paul
