Poem
I see you up there flying in the sky of majestic winged one, your wing span is so wide, you dip your wings now and then just to see what the wind is doing, Your head lifts up to see, as your steely eyes look from side to side. You cannot afford to get it wrong, or you could fly off course and hit the ground. You calculate so carefully, but not on paper, like us, not you, Your head is what you use to think through all the things you have to do. Your feathers had all been fluffed about, when you were caught in a nasty gale. You had thrashed about and it made you shout as it grabbed your pure white tail. Now you are soaring up to the sky, where you're dwarfed by the mighty blue whale. The people on the ground don't know, how much stress a seagull goes through. When you are pushed around by a wind so fierce, you have to hang on with all your might. Just to keep yourself from falling from the sky, during such a hairy scaring flight. I watch you dive into the sea , to catch the fish that want for tea. You dive in and grab it with your beak, then wait patiently, for the next to pick. With a grace and style so neat, you dive in and claim your delicate feast. You have to do this very quick, because a big wave could make you sink. Your fisherman friend Joe is due, you know his boat, its painted bright blue. You watch for his mast as it nears the point, and as he enters the bay, get into position to wait, for him to cut up the catch of the day. Sometimes I wish I could fly away too, across the oceans you soar over so blue, I would fly to a place that was away from the hustle and bustle back home. I would chase all the other birds there in the sky, that are also all alone. You must see many things on your flights, when you fly over land, sea and shore. I love to see you soar through the sky, Until I can' t see you up there anymore.
