Watching the sudden seagulls in the garden, I wondered what brought
them here as we are miles from any seawater.
ALWAYS OUT THERE
Those seagulls in our garden
Are a long way from water.
Doing what we all do, I suppose,
Looking for a future
Just a little bit better.

I often have the very same thoughts! We are about 35miles from the sea in either direction yet still here they are!
I think they’re contemplating taking over from the magpies – but not from the crows who are so fierce!
Do you wish the sea was closer? I do, then we could go more often.

And the racket they make Gwen! I’m no where near sea here in north London, but the noise can be defeaning! Lovely poem.
Glad you liked it, Sharon, and yes..the noise!.

I do and I don’t. I have been fortunate enough to live on the coast for over a third of my life and enjoy the countryside but there is nothing to beat the smell of the sea and the colours of the waves!
I love seagulls! They set my mind to wondering about all kinds of things, most of which have nothing at all to do with the sea!
