Only the birds get it Hanging eyes carry heavy bags worry about bills ducks seem to manage to fly away to a foreign hole deep and black a hungry bear fishes for food but the seagull is there first food laden beak like heavy bags these tired eyes. |

It if isn't for worrying over green bills it's worrying over filling the bill. You did it. This poem fills the bill. *s When you think you have heard it all, |

(big hugggsssssss) The irony of it all is the wings only come to those who have the grace in them, for those kind of birds it's not wings, just propellers, and there is no manual control in being propelled! (sad sigh) This is well-done, dearest friend, you have my proud vote, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Andrew, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Seagulls are considered scavenger birds---but I am a seagull lover! I enjoy watching them ride the thermals across a cerulean blue sky and listen to their shrill cries above the sound of the crashing waves... Sorry about rambling on like that! I seem to have gone off on a tangent---but you made me do it! Peace & Light, Earth Angel |

Zu - A great God-clothes-the-lillies-of-the-field wake-up call. You made the call. I wonder how many people answered it. It certainly belongs in the book. |

I love reading poems that are pitched at several levels of meaning. This one is a good example and it goes straight into the library for future visits. It also goes into the book if my vote has anything to do with it! Patrick Talty |
