Hello, beautiful readers! Today, I am combining two challenges. The first one is Melissa's Fandango Flash Fiction Challenge, where she invites us to write a poem about the image below. The second challenge is dVerse's Quadrille #223 - Untangle It. In this challenge, we are to write a quadrille using some form of the word tangle. A quadrille is a poem of 44 words.

Food Fight
morsels no longer wanted left behind
ear-splitting squawks pierce the peaceful scene
a flutter of gray and white creates shadows on target
entire family comes to feast
ravenous entanglement
newcomers encroach on taken territory
seagulls fight for each morsel
only the fittest will survive
Would you like to write a poem about either of these prompts? Click the links below:
