Notes About The Poem
Wild Birds Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Shadow Hamilton. 11/11/2023

Evelyn the seagull

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 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
