Our prompt this week for One Single Impression is homecoming. Last evening, my husband and I watched the boats come in to the harbor at day’s end from Bug Light Park in South Portland, Me. This one came in flying a banner of gulls. Please visit OSI for more haiku.
Very nice photo, and the “banner of gulls” is poetry, too. Makes me wonder about different defititions of home. Home for the boat is probably arriving back at the dock, but where is home for the gulls – a nest for one season, a roost for one night, the air? Your small poem offers much to think about!
That’s a very familiar site…lovely photo and perfect poem to accompany it.
Love it! Those gulls are hungry pests but also beautiful critters who tell us where we are.
This is a photo that draws a viewer into it. That’s how I felt anyways. Lovely words to accompany too. Well done Sandy!
that’s the home dream for gulls alright.
Great photo and the poem is perfect.
For the person waiting for the boat at home, the gulls can indeed be a welcoming banner.
Oh so true to life, I have seen this many times. Lovely and wonderful photo too.
lovely.
i like how the lobster boat is greeted, not by family as is expected (and which will probably happen later), but by gulls. 
they must think the boat is welcoming them or something
thanks for your visit
Really neat take on the prompt, Sandy. The boat’s vanguard….
i can smell the salt water breeze… excellent take on the prompt!
i too am drawn to the homecoming of boats…
Great photography and poem to match!
Thank you for sharing these.
perfect – I love ‘the frenzy of gulls’ – so vivid, I can hear them!

‘the frenzy of gulls’~lovely..many thanks for this..
Hi Sandy, thank you for the picture and haiku. We were in Maine back a few years ago. We ate a lot of lobster then but didn’t get our fill.
I’ve never though of the gulls (we have them here on the Gulf) as being frenzied or having any feelings of any kind. Possibly I thought they might always be hungry as is my beagle, Adi.
