Their Chorus of Pleasure
watching fascinated, the tree
overwhelmed by multitude of birds
close together as though rehearsing moves
for an aerial display .....
their fluorescent plumage
shining brilliantly in the near dusk light,
twittering gets louder, with graceful move
they lift enmass into the sky in flight,
the murmuration has nothing to prove
never to forget,
graceful as one, they twist, twirl
looping .... fine display ...
no conductor to lead them
in their chorus of pleasure.
