The Murmuration

l saw her by the edge of the burnt mossy wall
and she was watching high above,  over forests so tall
then as the dusk gathered starlings,  that danced in the melting sun
it was the breathless display,  and mesmerising begun

in the last Autumn rays,  that painted threads through the trees
like the strands in

A Murmuration of Memories

The murmuration of my memories
fills the sky of my soul
with a beautiful pictoral show
of our long lost love

I watch, transfixed
Euphorically engrossed, I sigh
Oh, what display
of you and me and yesterday!

I relive the splendor
Transfixed
Emotions mixed
with certainty
you and me...and love
it will come again

But like birds, the memories fly away,
and I gaze at an empty sky
wondering why
reality always

Patterns

Patterns, of investigation,
Autumn starlings, murmuration,
Tidal sand wave, undulation,
Tectonic plates, foliation,
Evergreen fronds, forestation,
Rainbows of illumination,
Nature’s endless, fascination,
Science, our imagination.

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.

Starlicide

a coat of stars 
on a shiny night you 
wear
and thrive in #'s (almost)
everywhere
Mozart taught you to sing
everything
recite poetry
and greet those
who stumbled in
you are precious
to me
yet so hated
they patent your name
for poison
and rage 
Starlicide
now
half of what you were
your murmurations
still
smoke the sky
just not here 
this year
my dear
my darling 
Starling

Murmuration of Starlings High

Murmuration of starlings high. I’m high!
Low stars twinkling with wings. The trumpet’s call!
As winds of war, incline, in warm wind sigh,
the flock, a shock, sans enemies appall.

These friends do fascinate, heard like bombers,
like Japanese over unsuspecting 
Pearl Harbor fight ~ these darling bird-balmers.
The nudge of melodic buzz, quite affecting.

Not of national consequence, abuzz
not with politicking

I'VE DREAMT OF A SKY FULL OF BOTH ALIEN & MAN-MADE AIRCRAFT IN FLIGHT LIKE A MURMURATION OF STARLINGS

Murmuration

Have you ever witnessed a murmuration…that beautiful and wondrous sight…when birds all together change directions in the middle of their flight?

Seemingly they work as one…as the flock swoops left, right, lower and higher…murmuration is another reminder of nature’s beauty and her ability to inspire.

I noticed them walking ahead of us on the beach…an older couple

The Murmuration

The Starlings gather in flight,
A sight for longing eyes, the quartz cluster
grazes the changing skies,
Charcoal moss upon a cloudy wall,
They sweep the air as they fall into
cascading emerald tides,
Suspended in the breeze like puppets on their strings,
They compliment each other through the winds,
With the promise to protect each other
from passing threat.

Inhale, exhale.

As the dusk sets

Murmuration

Unseen for a moment 
Then over the hill 
A sudden flurry of wings 
Murmuration of starlings 
In flight.

'Neath Nimbus Dark 

Eerie sings 

Nature's Acrobats

Million wings 

 

Splendour reigns 

Cascades crash

Swooping splash 

 

Mesmerising movement

Phenomenon splendid

Murmuration

The cold season is coming round
Flocks of birds are homeward bound.

They are swirling, turning, wheeling
They invade the evening sky
Changing shape and mesmerizing
Safe in numbers; rustling by.

A cloud of starling
Graceful flapping of their wings
Murmuration.

Murmuration

Murmuration the bird watchers shout
Time to look up and scan about
What you will see will amaze your eyes
Looks like a moving cloud of unbelievable size

It’s Starlings flying as one as in a hunt
Open your eyes but mouth firmly shut
They aren’t too careful where they let things go
But the rhythmical flock will put on a great
