Seagull Poems

Premium MemberSteven The Seagull

I saw him posing on his perch
While exploring Blackpool merch.
"The Snack Thief" is how he's locally known
Wide eyed, plump and holding his own.
He loves chips, ice cream cones and bread...
So keep an eye out over head!
He'll hover, then suddenly down he'll swoop
To gather up a hearty scoop.
Or he'll seem to dawdle by your side
But snatch

Breezy, 
break away free bird, 
as free as easy as the wind
wanderess go onward
 ~ through life~
with an incessant need
to find solace 
and meaning
back in god’s grace
It’s penetrating places you roam
and journeyed from
Free bird without
a home, without your flock
Once wings spread across
golden honey horizons
then held still on a dock
Cries o’er the retched waves
drenched in its

A Seagull’s Lament

I have a bird’s eye view.
I am a seagull after all.
Where are all of the people?
Those nice tourists who fed me
french fries, buns, hamburgers, hot dogs.
A real gourmet’s delight.
What am I going to do?
I guess I will have to go back
To fishing! Ugh!

Premium Memberseagull goddess

pink brought a lone seagull into the yonder sky
she advanced with purpose; her intent known to her alone
struggling against the winds, sprayed by ocean foam
I felt she was an angel of some sort, a messenger

the waves of the ocean began to twirl and spin
greeting the seagull as if she were a goddess
for of course she

Fly high like an eagle,
don't be a seagull in the sea,
don't be ashamed to realese your concerns instead to keep them inside.

Let your worries to be known,
give them wings instead to cut them to be free.
Don't make a refuge to yourself, but give a refuge to others to come.

Shout as loud as you can,
don't never

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

Premium MemberSeagull In the Storm

A stormy day in the sea, 
a nasty seagull was fishing, 
but it was too dark to see. 
She dived into the waters, 
but she didn't catch any fish.
       Her feathers were so wet, 
that she wasn't able to fly.
She was waiting for the worst, 
while she made a

Steve Seagull

High atop our chimney breast,
Lives Steve Seagull upon his nest.
He’s a highly trained, bombing master,
Atop my rooftop, his name spells disaster.

If you’re like me, and live down by the sea,
You’d better hide quick, and find the nearest tree.
He thinks the seaside sky’s his domain,
And his mission is to cause both misery and pain.

Steve seagull, he

Inspired by Joe Bonamassa's voice, acoustic guitar
and free style riffs in his cover of the song Seagull. 

~ My inspired lyrics go like this, ~ 

Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly,
Soar on the wind,
Float and drift free,
Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly.

Seagull flying each dawn
into that morning light.
Oh, what are you seeking feathered one ?
