(We can learn from our avian friends)

in awe of starlings
flocking in murmuration
fluid in blue sky

A Beautiful Haiku, Chris!
Again, I learned something new. Guessing murmuration is a sound, as in heart murmur, I see it's a flock :)

[Chris Shaw]

Murmuration is the name of the shape the birds make in the sky. Incredibly fluid to watch. You can find murmurariam if starlings on Google to watch. Thanks Dylan.

a very vivid picture of nature. i love the expression 'fluid in blue sky.' the movement of birds in flight is so majestic. it is a testament to intelligent design. superbly written.

[Chris Shaw]

I don't know how I missed this gem Chris. A most beautiful haiku that also has deeper meaning to me. I see it as cooperation that people don't have. People are like sheep (pardon to the sheep) they mindlessly flock together regardless of purpose. The starlings have direction in their cooperation and it takes them together through blue skies.Lovely

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Soren. So pleased you enjoyed this haiku. I really appreciate the thoughts you have shared. Have a great day.

I love this stuff. Every now and again, someone plonks one on the website and, hey, a thrill. Nice one, Chris. Brings on some murmur within the blue sky of my weird brain!

Oh yes, watching the birds in formation is such a peaceful site. We can learn so much from starlings. They stick together and switch direction in tandem. They seem to be quite happy following the leader. Short and sweet form poetry. I like it. Lydi**
