WDYS — Mesmerizing

Fandango

In front of the setting sun’s soft orange glow
Starlings gather in a murmuration flow
Performing their unique rhythmic dance
As they weave tales in twilight’s glance

Against the canvas of the fading light
They paint patterns, a mesmerizing sight
Each shapeshifting moment, a treasure to behold
Their collective path rises, falls, and swirls unfold

They bid farewell to the fading day
In a most hypnotic and graceful way

    I don’t get to see poetry from you very often. I like it!

      I don’t write poetry very often. But the murmuration of starlings is, itself, poetry in motion.

      Thanks, Sadje. I appreciate that. It takes me 2-3 times longer to write poetry than prose.
