Starling Murmuration

Twisting, turning, swooping, SWIRLING Starlings just before dusk Forms patterned cloud ILLUSION Coming together as single Thousand minds as one Act in an instant Who trains them all? Who leads them all? RUSTIC charm of birding Brings rare joy sighting SILENCE seems to EMANATE In ambience of forest SYNTHETIC life in city Never helps to BLOSSOM TIMELESS calm of Nature - A price above priceless.

Congratualtions on your win Thriveni. Enjoyed your poem. I have not seen this happen in real life but do enjoy the company of birds and the starlings I get to see that visit my garden. Emilia : )

Great poem Thriveni! Yeah, how do they all move at once, like one mind?! My son and his fiance are avid birdwatchers. What a great hobby!

there are many theories to explain that behavior, but I am not truly convinced of any. I am into birding too. It is very difficult to gain confidence of birds. Thank you for your visit dear poet. Pleased to know you have bird-watchers, it becomes a passion. Blessings & cheers.

At the start, thought it an aliteration, but it would not matter either way. my compliments on your terse verse. Aloha William

It did, but I let go off her (alliteration) and moved on with another partner, ha. Thank you so much for your kind visit and words dear poet. Blessings & cheers
