It's Still Life

31 May: Some Days

Some Days

A seagull landed on my roof.
It looked around and around.
Doesn’t necessarily mean
it’s a lighthouse though.

Some days I’m a lighthouse.
Some days I’m the sea.
Some days I want to drown,
and I confuse myself when I float.

    Lovely light verse, and disturbing image echoing against each other.

    One of my groans was:
    – why are they called sea-gulls?
    – cos otherwise they’d be bay-gulls.

    So true. We surprise ourselves constantly. Interesting (disturbing) image you chose.

      I needed an image with impact, as I felt the poem was rather blasΓ©.
