Naomi Rainbow Poet Rhyme

Ode To the Brighton Seagull

From lofty heights the seagull spies 
The weighted hands of eager guests 
He circles high and swoops down low 
stealing our supper as he goes ...

Meanwhile our hands now weightless feel 
our appetite remains at ill 
Perhaps some fleeting chance remains 
to buy our supper once again. 

Standing tall upon a grassy nook
wary wanderers on the sandy shore 
Where the seagull is king o’er the tide 
the beach is ours for the asking 
and the food is his for the taking.
