A flight of startled starlings

Raise your thoughts into the light
With yellow sun and starling flight.
And from a humble heart, uplift
To share kind words,
A loving gift....

Little starling,

   perched in your woody heights,

   kneading thy wet wings,

   and gloating with song -----

Then flying off to some far shore:

   Is it envy that I feel?...

To the Ends of the Earth 

Like a glossy starling flying away 

Lost in a group of chaos 

Always knowing the path.

blue jay way up high
a peacock on the river
forget-me-not dusk

sea holly shimmer
the blue dandelion days
sapphires in starlight

wet starfish creeping
starling in hydrangeas
neptune, uranus...

in the bliss of blooms
in the richness of old gold
chattering I hear

day of fresh breezes
in luxurious summer
brookside in fragrance

starry-eyed starling
his song carried by the wind
a romantic dream...

Parked at the lake where we surely were't strangers
A Starling momma thought her babies were in danger
She flew at my head
Pecking away to my dread
Till I ran in terror trying to save my old brainer...

I happened on a starling
Who did not notice me;
He splashed and flapped in water
As murky dark as he.

His gutter-bath he finished up
Then quickly took to wing—
He circled off through bright sunlight,
A certain sign of spring....

Listen to the silence,
hear each frozen word
wrap your mind around itself
distant from the herd
Feel the bracing numbness,
lift what can’t be touched
free one starling in the night
—windblown through the musk

Squeaks shrieks and whistling chirps
mixed with mimicry, colourful
spotted speckled iridescent darlings

Pixilated torturous waves at dusk
mesmerising murmurations escaping the day 
starlings, self-pursued sardines of the sky  
flowing contorting distorting, fly....

berries plump and ripe

                                swirling starling clouds alight...

                                       town painted purple

          spring, swirling sweet scents.
          startling sun, sudden showers.
          soft starling, so stunned.

Like it or not it is the best place to be in the MORNING.

The mimosa; often where I did meet MOURINE.

Pretty thing, she caught me with her charm as she danced the "HOLA"

In a trance, her cold lips whispered in my ear "DARLING"

Gosh 'twas just a dream stolen by the vapid noise of the STARLING....

A bard is like a bird,
A violet starling,
He sings out every word,
Is everyone's darling;

My favourite colour 
Is that of royalty, 
I chose it, no wonder, 
To show my loyalty;

A violet starling, 
My poet's avatar, 
He's in PS singing 
All that I wish to share.

Starling Murmuration 

 
'Neath Nimbus Dark 

Eerie sings 

Nature's Acrobats

Million wings 

 

Splendour reigns 

Cascades crash

Aeriel Ballet 

Swooping splash 

 

Mesmerising movement 

Semaphore Correlation 

Phenomenon splendid 

Starling Murmuration 

 

thank you...
