Abattoir Gulls
Diving and banking
Like
Storm shooed clouds
Those
Abattoir gulls
Always
Angry and loud
Dancing and scything
High upon higher
Pinned to the sky
On invisible wire
How they do hang
There
Storm proof and crazy
Loitering low like
Clouds of confetti
Reckless and teasing
Storm flushed and florid
Diving and banking
Sublimely unhurried
Weaving
Yet threadbare
High upon higher
Pinned to the sky
On invisible wire
Take heed of their cry
Then still
Lost to the wind
Carried pon whispers
Deliciously sinned
Those abattoir gulls
Shameless and free
Dancing and scything
High upon higher
Forever
Pinned to our sky
On invisible wire

I am most grateful to you Michael, many thank you's sir... Neville
Ah - Loud applause for this flow of bird-assault Neville - - You capture so well the noise in flight of gulls whenever a meal is sighted. I relate to their cleverness as I live by the sea. An engaging read.
You are far too generous for words Fay, but of course, I am delighted by your opinion & comment, thank you very much indeed, Neville
Neville, the imagery is amazing in this write. I particularly liked
"Angry and loud
Dancing and scything
High upon higher
Pinned to the sky
On invisible wire
How they do hang
There."
You paint such a beautiful canvas for your readers.
Great job!
My word, how ever so bloomin kind of ya Tamara, I have just come over all unnecessary and true... Cheers, Neville
No problem!
I was there watching these gulls
"Pinned to our sky
On invisible wire"
Your words conveyed a glorious picture.
thanks, but just you be careful up there... N
