You ruled the air above the waters for eons.
Majestic in your flight
A guide for our mariners in distress.
That land and help were close.
A joy for our fishermen.
As your blossoms circled over our needs.
A light of great hope for our explorers.
For new land and wealth.

Forgotten for now.
Your fish deeply depleted.
Vermin of today.
Dining on ailing pigeons.
And our waste
A screaming mob you be.
Delighting only the cleaners.
Cleaners of clothes and cars.

What will they say?
A hundred or so years hence.
A decent place in history
As should be
Or an extinct vermin
Like an unimportant dinasour
Which will it be?
Love or hate?

 Reviews of "Reflections - Ode to the Seagull"
Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on September 5, 2015
An interesting piece on the seagull, the rat of the sea (?). Most dogs seem to love them and could chase them for hours. I love how they like to catch junk food in midair. I don't like it when they catch a fishing lure in midair.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull, I heard, was quite a philosopher.
