Thanks for sharing more beauty & love. I look forward to opening it on my larger screen.

I think the birds murmur to acknowledge their participation in their group. We do the same on Substack.

I just love the word 'Murmrate' and your poem is so delightful. Play, dance, Invitation, celebrate, call - MURMURATE!

Delightful poem - when I see them do this murmuration thing, I stand in awe that they can do this - and everyone knows what the other is doing, perfect harmony, poetry in motion - in the air!. Perfectly described - it invites wonder, and wondering about how and why they do it. I love to think it's just because they can, and it's fun. So glad you are sharing some of your poetry here with us! A thing that comes through in all of your writings is your joy in life - and that you've never lost the wonder.

This post was a joy to read. Starlings murmurate with the pleasure of being together, flowing and moving in harmony, becoming a family experiencing the moments 🎶
