       Sys sea gull

Sea gulls glide in freedom,
Plumbing wind and carefree.
Using all their instincts,
To stay in perigee.

Their graceful overfly,
Advantageous forfeit.  
We thrill in admiration,
The fulfill of the debit.

It's only seriousness.
The hardness of the stay
Whose antics are a wonder
But his belly drives the way.

Freedom is a hardship
Cruel and mostly underfed.
And if I were a sea gull,
I'd drop one on your head.

I love seagulls, but they do a number on the old car's paint job.  Your poem tickled me

What should I say, is there anything I can add
The live of a seagull must be sad
So please if you happen to fly by
Please drop your load over onto the next guy
LOL
Loved it

 The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.
