Yellow Boat Speckled Gull

Canary yellow at that or at least that dark yellow which borders on gold or gold leaf
Anyways a rich yellow which indeed suggests richness in the same way that the boat itself floats floats upon the azure sea

Is azure a blue or a green a turquoise or an emerald or the diamond the diamond of somewhere in between
Is it the azure that balances the sand colour of the soft sand beach is it the azure which highlights the silver of the silver white surf

Is it the sky blue of the blue sky which takes all the cares of the day away that sky blue which says to the grey clouds be off with you leave these nice folks alone
And in doing so opens itself ever wider ever more open to please the discerning and grateful eyes

And what of the black gull and the brown gull and the grey gull and the white gull and the speckled gull with whom none of the other gulls wish to be seen
And just what brought on the gulls frenzy was it my thoughts was I feeling mean towards them
