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
