Seagulls

For Kerry’s prompt at Real Toads, Let’s Be Imagists.  As a Note:  T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound are two of my favorite poets. I fell in love with them when I was thirteen.  This is Day 25 of NAPOWRIMO.

    An extraordinarily adept capture of the moment. The movement of the last part is so well done.

    How very beautiful!! “Cutting the scene into ribbons.” I have always loved seagulls, and I miss them…they rarely spend time in the desert.

    Toni, thank you so much for coming by…I am “trying,” I put the name of the prompt at the top of each poem, and the website. I think you know I am a bit of techno-peasant. If you have suggestions, I will try to make it clearer?

      Everytime you write a poem, hit publish. Don’t write a couole or three and hit publish, write one poem, hit publish. One poem hit publish. Very simple. Then click on the link of the ONE published and copy link. If you can do the complicated art, yku can do this. Much simpler it looks limw yku write a poem, and then another. Hit publish after every poem. Simple. 😊

    Mr. Pound would be so proud. You sculpted your words eloquently.
