The Seagull Poem

An unnecessary

Brotherly bite

Isn’t finished without

An angry

sisterly might                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Wings like flags raised in the air

And a sword shaped beak drags through

The planned attack is now set in motion

Alas, destroyed in one blow

The family’s squawk recognized

Above any other like it                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Now she reigns supreme and wolfs down the feast

(cheese and onion flavoured)

Hahaha, I remember how vicious seagulls can be. Let’s see what this poem about them holds.

And I love how you portrayed them as these cheeky sandwich stealers bc that is what they are! I like how the poem looks too :3

Ah it should be “sword-shaped” with a dash.
I also am not really sure if “sisterly might” fits in the beginning. It rhymes, yes, but I’m not sure it makes sense?

Wow! this poem is really something I love how vivid it is you can almost hear the squawk and see the wings in the air it feels like this epic battle, I can picture everything, but then the cheese and onion twist at the end makes it funny and unexpected I didn’t see that coming! Good work!!

Thank you! I'm happy you liked it!

Just like "The Cat Poem" this is soo adorable. The seagulls at my local beach are so wild, they swarm anyone and anything for food. I feel like in the second stanza, you described the seagulls almost like knights, going into war for the ultimate prize (a dropped french fry).

The rhyme in the first paragraph is also really cute, it kind of sounds like an old school Disney line in the best way.

You have a few animal poems, I wonder if you'll just keep writing more for different animals? If so, I'd like to suggest a bunny, their my favorite animals after cats lol. So cute!

Thank you! I'm glad the knight-like imagery got through. I have been wondering about trying some prose and writing a short story recently, but I'll never say no to a prompt! I'm glad you liked this one and the cats poem!
