Beautiful Birds

A few months ago, this poem was played on the Kilkenny Community Radio show. I hope you all enjoy it.

A most beautiful spotted sight on a Sunday morn

Is the murmuration of a flock of birds

White, grey, black and pink all in one whilst in flight


As they descend and ascend

Coming from left going right, up and down

Striking all shapes scaling their highest heights


At times one lead then another in turn

And as the air got cooler and slightly windier

They moved together in sync

With their wings in light pink


They came then went then went and came

All while we watched and waited at the window

While they put on their beaming best show
