The Sea Gull

The Sea Gull

The one-legged seagull king that lived on the last reef
before the ocean began had lived long, longer than gulls normally do
He came from a sturdy breed that for generations had lived
at the edge of land and sea; they knew things other birds didn’t know
On the ferry bound for England the king came onboard,

Everybody Needs a Fine Dining Experience

Shadows amid the waves
bird-eye targets,
besties gather for 
a fine dining experience;
aqua splits to pierce
of bill.

Fueling up the old pouch,
a winging pelican riding sea breeze
to sustenance; 
all hook-billed and needing no bait.

Just a hop, skip-skim 
across to side-dish;
let’s have a herring and mullet casserole!
Throat-sack wiggles, jiggles,
down the hatch,
then it’s back to the nest for 
cocktails and

A Curious Seal

Last days of summer
Autumn's presence felt
The sea retains some heat
Hardy souls take the plunge
While gulls skim and surf
Riding on waves that swell
A curious seal watches
Alien species enjoying
Freedom from the land.

Sea Gull

If, I were a seagull;

The wind would tickle

And lift my fine feathers.

I would extend my wings,

Bend my knees,

Leap up into the air

Flapping my wings

Taking off and fly,

Feeling the favorable

Brisk briny breeze filled sea.

Glide and vanish into the broad sky.

I'd fly among the shadows of the clouds,

Embrace in natural warmth

Of heavenly sunshine,

Overlooking uninterrupted view

Above and among

Sea Gull At Twilight

I’m soaring through a sunset – violet
as sun drips into water cobalt blue.
How peaceful is this twilight time. I let
my eyes take in the total gorgeous view.

My mates fly with me. Beachcombers we spy!
We squawk and squeal and circle with delight.
Then down to where the humans are we fly.
We need to look around while there’s

The Sea-Gull

The old sea-gull

The old one-legged sea-gull
sat on my roof near the chimney
if felt the cold, scanning the sky.
Once it had been the captain on the outer reef
and fought many a battle to sit on his crown
Someone took a shot at it, and it lost a leg,
together with oncoming elderliness, it left its kingdom.
Took refuge on

Gull Trouble

Like rowdy teens all running for a bus
The gulls have seen the merest hint
That someone threw a crust
An unwanted  scrap from Pret
The bottom of a wrap or the final soggy 
Mouthful from a keytchup spattered bap
Sending fifty feisty squabbling birds
All rising in a screechy flap

Just the first arrive in time to dive 
And wing

Sea Gull

Viewed through my lens your cold eye
Sees only opportunity, chances for greed,
Unfair and brutal scoring at no cost
To yourself. Instinct polarised to bad,
Answering circumstance with cruelty,
Exploiting misfortune, weaknesses, screaming,
Looking and pressing always for more
As you squabble and spear an unfair share.

But now distant against a bruised cloud 
I see you above, glowing, new and lost
In

Sea Gull

The seagull has no insurance.
No mutual funds for later days.
No friends or lovers to burden him.
The seagull is alone and always just now.

The seagull cries to all who'd listen.
But no one does.
The seagull doesn't care.

The seagull looks for threats.
He is always on guard.
As he was then he is now.

Sea Gull

One legged swaying
Stiff breeze chills
Soldier crabs scurry
