Starlings wait outside
for the blackbirds to come 'round
so they can kick butt.

Shoals
swirling
in the sky-
like locusts in
flight-
as
light fades
the massing
starlings roost at
night

to have seen flocks of
starlings in murmuration
is to have lived a full life
-
it’s as simple as
a child plucking a rose
from a blooming garden bed

against sunset peaks
starlings whir over wide plains-
shaping bold live art

violet-backed starlings
know how to
Shepherd
the
sheep clouds
with
their
sprite wings
somehow, somehow
to know thy name
written in these clouds

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

Please shed some light
O, luminous star
on this puzzle for me
You light the way for earthlings
Can't you help fellow starlings
born without wings

A flock of starlings flying, swirling around for the longest time, land in a cherry tree. Off they go again into the distance, out of sight. While snow is falling gently as they vanish into the distance.

Prose
Starlings fly in flocks
Anticipating others direction changes
Twisting and turning in precision
A dance where they are ultra-aware of their companions
Scientists say each is cognizant of seven neighbors at a time

Speckled starlings sing with delight
over flying ants in nuptial flight
I watch a swift swoop and pass
above an old meadow ,lush with grass
My fingers reach to touch that sky
where swallows circle,then southward fly

Playful pony promenade
Quietly quizzing querulous quail
Respite regulated regimented rabbits
Studiously steering sterling striped starlings
Tricking trinkets, trunks and tributaries
Undervalued, underdeveloped, and underdone

Lanterne
A mucky puddle
still holds the reflected night.
Two maundering starlings
peck at the dark pool
as if fishing.
One worm wriggles up,
the birds don't seem inclined
to eat it
one bubble in the puddle
surfaces -
I sense a kraken.

Tuxedoed and sequinned
Sixty starlings sing in the driving rain
Facing where the sun should be
Each pinnacles atop a leaf-bare branch
Black popsicles upon October's tree
Leaf confetti blowing to the ground
As they loudly choir their symphony

from woodpeckers and sparrows
to starlings and warblers
all get along
at the feeders
but for
the
feathered equivalent of a
sociopath called
a cannibal
the bluejay
that eats
alone
we're like ants always
at war with each
other

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

a cloud
of starlings
flew and flowed
fluidly being something
from nothing to something
as dark
as ink
making
me think
if i were a
bird of prey
my eyes i
wouldn't
blink
couldn't
blink if
to catch
anything
as this
magic
cloud
moves
without
wind

I do not know?
A chattering of starlings...
perform their synchronized...
aerial acrobatics...
in the apricot sky

Imagism
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.

I hear serenading songs of summer swallows
and ruffling feathers of roosting starlings.
I catch the sweet scent of heirloom roses
that have not yet budded upon the bush.
All these things I know have been given to me
as surely as I see you standing before my eyes.

Rain-steps publish worms,
wriggles scribe themselves.
The thrown thud of a newspaper
punctuates the wet and written.
Sparrows scrawl and scrabble,
foraging starlings attack the earth
sounds squirm up,
muddy scripts are picked at, edited
a door slams,
the ground rewrites itself.

There is a collective revving
of chutzpah and pluck.
The flock takes flight.
One robin jumps late,
takes off alone
behind the bunch.
It struggles to catch up,
then segues in mid-air,
as if to say: ...k it.
The bird lands alone
on a bare branch.
It doesn’t care;
robins are not starlings.
