THE LANDING BUSH True

No likes yet ♦

I went to the local shop
walked slowly back
looked up at the sky
turning black

A huge Seagull
with it's wings
opened wide

Zoomed down on to
the Geranium bush
only 3ft in height

There was nothing
for him to hold onto
that was solid in anyway

So the Seagull
again opened it's
huge white wings
spanned across the bush
and a big yellow beak
looking for something to eat

Then it took off
at great speed
so low it was nearly at my feet

I let out one
almighty scream!

Wandered indoors
and thought
not me again
why?
be so unkind

I had no shiny tee shirt
on that glittered in the sun
there was nothing in my hands
not even any crumbs

I don't think it
could be the one
that whacked
his wings around my head
way back 2008

screeching
at me circling about
I didn't know they
were nesting up above

as the Seagull
was dive bombing me

I didn't even have
a mobile
so I ran to where
some people stood

Blasted! thing flew fast
just like
an aeroplane would
no babies on the ground
