It’s a murmuration of starlings not a cloud!
A silently spoken will as one to soar.
A whirling collaboration not for fun.
A spectacular occurrence in the sky.
A startling starling orchestrated dance.
A magnificent squadron with aerobatic show.
And all to move on and miss the snow.
An ornithological delight,
of many many birds in synchronous flight.
But do not shout out loud,
Your enthusiasm and delight.
It is a murmuration you know,
when so many starlings as one take flight.
