Seagulls

Screech you gulls and prowl the sky,
City moon has risen high.
What sort of map is in your mind?
When you look down on humankind. 

Bipedal creatures on the ground,
Look like midgets creeping round.
Are they food by any chance?
Or are they worth a second glance?

Someone said you fly for fun,
Hurrah you squawk, the night’s begun!

Around my home are many gulls, so I know well the screech, but they have a beauty all their own, as all of God's creatures do... but yes they do seem obsessed with food... and thanks for your comments on my poem Sky and Wind
