Day 2 - Smugly

Smugly

Ah, the gull
floating on waves of air,
much maligned scavenger
dismissed, reviled, disdained.
Yet he escapes
gravity's constraints
while I,
smugly superior,
remain strapped
hopelessly surface bound.

Smug, indeed! Love the sounds of the words here - nice reading aloud.

Cheers

I really enjoyed the easy way this has with words.

Nice! Made me laugh, smile and embrace the Jonathen Livingstone seagull moment of it all!

I enjoyed this aj.
But I suppose if we could fly we'd take it for granted.
And I've often thought about certain maligned creatures like seagulls, and see them for the survivors they are. Just doing what we do...as little as possible to make as much as possible!
Nice read.
