Notes About The Poem

 

Awakened this morning to nearly a hundred black birds making their Spring journey north. It was quite breathtaking to see them all gathered in the boughs of the trees taking respite, than a chorus began as they took flight on their journey.

 

 

 

Migrant Birds

Birds

                                          Fly

                                       Migrating

                                     On open sky

                           A chartered course found

                           Resting on lofty winter boughs

         Swooping like magical kites, a swirling dance of flight

 With miles still to go, fearless in their mission, cackling caws singing in   

                                 synchronized rhythm.

Your use of simple, yet descriptive words, are easy to digest and strike a common cord of familiarity. Emile.
