I so agree and you brought these noisy seagulls to life with your few words here. The sound of the seaside would not be the same without these birds, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Thanks for your review. They may be noisy but the beach wouldn't be the same without them.

Hello my friend

Nice entry for the
Bye Bye Blackbird writing prompt contest.

Good syllable count.

Connection between lines can be improved. Now it sounds like three separate thoughts.

Pretty presentation. The picture goes well with the poem.

Well done. Good luck in the contest.

Yes well portrayed this majestic bird associated with expanses of water where it provides 'music of the beach'- a lovely image - thanks for sharing these sentiments

It's funny how the squawking of sea gulls and the smell of marshy salt transport me to a different time. Your poem serves as a reminder of how powerful some symbols can be. Nice job.
I wish you the best of luck at the polls.

Peace, Lee

The Speaker here truly appreciates having a sea gull as a seaside companion. It is easy to visualize this one soaring above. Rod

This is probably the first and most beautiful poem describing a seagull. The words 'seaside companion' was interesting. The picture it painted in my mind. I love the photo. Very lovely.

Exactly! What a picture of peace and music of the soul.
Brings back memories of my youth.
My favorite line was specks of white through cloudless sky.
This line brought forth the softness of the beach and the peace of the day.
Great job
