The challenge---name the creatures discussed

Gullible
Virginia Salter

Gertrude and Heathcliffe
atop lamp-post perch
rapt attention
on guitar pickin’ Tony

Turn in tandem
ever on guard
gray and white forms
compliment soft clouds

One by one
each lifts off
flits, soars
dips
dives

disappears
into the distance
gone
barren pole
a stark reminder

Seagulls
Tiger
What'd I miss?
Don't you just hate empty lamp posts?  I mean, then you don't have to make a wide path around them
