Exuberance of agile seagulls Flying with utmost ease and grace Gliding to the tune of autumn’s wind... Here, standing on the edge of the cliff I look with envy, bemoaning my limitations. --------------------------------------- Contest: “Let’s Do Some Alphabet” Sponsored by Sara Kendrick Placed 1st © 5th October 2017

Paul, first of all, I love your title. Secondly, my heart soared with exuberance when I read your graceful lines that glided with ease from the page and into my imagination... and I totally felt the words of your last line in my mind, body and soul. An eloquent, exquisite and stirring write, well deserved of a first place win. Congratulations my friend. ~Susan

Your writing, Paul, is inspiring to a new writer. The imagery in so few words is fascinating! I have found a mentor. (Ha. Good luck with that!)

Oh to have the wings of a bird and glide on the air currents. Well that's not possible, so I guess I settle for the metal winged variety - so boring. I'm too scared to hand glide from the cliff tops :( Not familiar with this form, but you have mastered it brilliantly as always Paul...Maria
