As a seagull

by Jem Croucher

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

As a seagull I flew inland from the sea
Up in a yellow-tinged sky
Looking down with the freedom I commanded in flight
as I swooped and I soared up on high

I watched as the river meandered below
Through the town I am proud to call home
with its cluster of houses gathered close to the sea
over routes I have so often flown

And as I flew I gave voice as we seagulls do
shouting out to the winds a loud cheer
close to the ocean in Shoreham-by-Sea
“I am really so pleased that I’m here”

    In true seagull spirit ! When I was a child we lived in a seaside city and Dad always said the rain was coming when we heard them screeching over our house.
