If I Were a Seagull


Were I a seagull, I would glide so fine
   with V-shaped wings aflutter in the breeze,
      above the ocean's whitecap-wave design,
along with others, join with calls that please.


With V-shaped wings aflutter in the breeze,
   creating whirling patterns that unfold,
       along with others, join with calls that please-
squawks echoing, rebounding, loud and bold.

Creating whirling patterns that unfold,
   I'd mesmerize with movements of my wings-
      squawks echoing, rebounding loud and bold,
while hunting food amid my gatherings.

I'd mesmerize with movements of my wings
   above the ocean's whitecap-wave design,
      while hunting food amid my gatherings.
Were I a seagull, I would glide so fine.
