Flight Of Starlings Poem by Tom Billsborough

Flight Of Starlings

Rating: 3.9


Grains of gunpowder
Starlings subjugate the sky
Leave whorls of thumbprints

Funnelling of nets
Their sylphic murmuration
Avoiding falcons.

Endlessly swirling
Black clusters become shadows
Lava lamp wonders.

I wish there was a higher number than 10 I could give here.

Man, this is a flock of haikus, very clever! , you do haiku justice because although math is essential, you have real poetry holding hands with it, I rarely see this done so well! !
