the seagullA Poem by Bradfor kerry's sunday challenge #1She battled the raging storm Pitted against the cutting rains Suffocating winds To bring her love her heart He was upon the shore Feet dug into the sand Fighting with something he had snagged With a jagged hook She screamed from the air Calling out to him In names he longed to known by But he couldn’t hear her Above the gusts and the rush She dived and screeched Only to be blown And tossed Muffled by the thunderclaps How cruel the gods had been And this love of hers Stubborn and deaf Blind to the love above him His catch was slowly losing the fight And he dragged it to the battered shore She pulled her wings straight back Pointed her beak And ripped her way To her love Trying to beat his catch A white capped wave Crashed into her Sent her reeling to the depths Crushed by the riptide To the bottom of the sea Feet away From the legs of her beloved His catch swam past Hook in mouth Evil grin on gin soaked lips She gave into the water Making it her last nest And her love Pulled up his catch Which bared her fangs And ate him whole Lost to more worlds than one…. © 2011 Brad
