The Herring Gull
A darting shape
at water's edge
The Herring Gull
is here..
By river he is
soaring long
And I need never
fear.


magestic as the
Summer sun
And magical as day
He profits from the
many creatures
There in each sun
light ray.

A towering figure
Of the world
Which classifies his
kind
A species greatly
Founded
And a benefactor
of my mind.


As I would like
to join him
I feel such a love
within
This bird that
launched over the
river
shows me how I
Can win


By his example I
provide
My mind with better
words
i almost deify
Him
In his flight
among the birds


He uses power
and energy
To show the surge
he has
And like a missile
speeds over
The water and I'm
not what i was


I thankyou with
humility
you white superior
bird
I see the wings
Out spreading
And too soon
I have no word
