Flock of Birds Paint the Sky Beautiful

under the blue sky

over the earth's pie

one thru ten they fly

fifty five birds spry

followers not shy

a triangles ply 

on point, flanked they vie

I can hear their cry

I can see their tri

wings on wings they lie

as all birds comply 

and my joys sky high

yet I blink my eye

and swish they've  gone by

I thought this poem was witty but one wouldn't know by looking at the results. Maybe I should leave notes.--under the blue sky over the earth's pie (the flock of birds are under the clouds, under the blue skies and over the crust of the earth/pie).--one thru 10 they vie, first row 1 alpha bird, 2nd row 2 birds, 3rd row 3 birds ... and so forth to the 10th row totals 55 birds spry/active. What shape is formed? A triangle, on point, flanked ... they vie ... all comply-wings on wings lie-sequential
