Oh... I'm Evelyn the seagull eating rubbish, squawking down the sea. Oh... I'm invisible and a detested bird flying around. Not admired by anyone, but privileged I feel flying next to the ocean I love. Oh....unforgettable mornings with my "mews", my lovely or hated music to be listened to. Up and down, just flying above sometimes, but miserable when you push me down. Oh... I'm a hated bird all the time. I'm just feel loved when you meet me next to the coast. Oh.... then I know what it means to be loved. The only time you say: "I'm happy to see the seagulls because we are home". Then, I feel that I was born for a reason.

Hello Maria, these birds are loved and hated. I do not like these birds. When on picnic they are there to take your food. Hugs. your friend. /Darlene/

Hello Maria, I love the Dove, Red and Blue Jays, Sparrows Robins and the Geese. These are my fav. birds. Yes I know you are passionate about the sea. I feel that way with a Bay, River, Lake, Ocxean. and Sea. Enjoy your day my friend. /Darelene/

Hello my friend. You are right, they are loved and hated. They take whatever they can from you, that's true. But you know...I respect everyone's opinion. I really love them. There is always a reason. As you know, I'm passionate with the sea, and actually I live inland. Everytime I travel to the sea they remind me my life there. Have a nice afternoon Darlenexxx

a creative and uplifting personification poem, Maria. Your words made me empathize with the lonely, unappreciated seagulls. They are mostly dismissed until someone like you sees them and says "I'm home." Just a beautiful ending. Have you ever read the book, Jonathan Livingston Seagull? He was quite the heroic seagull. I digress. Have a pleasant weekend, Sara

Good morning Sara. I didn't read the book, but I have the film, which I love very much. Very philosophical film, and a wonderful soundtrack from Neil Diamond. Thank you very much for your comment. Have a nice Sunday my friendxxx
