They left their home
one by one
flew out of the dark
into the sun
into formation
all knowing their place
round and round
at a constant pace
breaking the silence
with unison swings
allowing the breath
to escape from their wings.
Flying high
flying low
never far do they roam
from their teachings
from their home.

Love watching birds in formation in the sky. Boggles the mind how they do all that they do.
Nice verse. Captures homing pigeons well. 🙂
Thank you. I agree, it is mind boggling. Love the way ducks do their upside down ‘V’ style. Bet we don’t look too good from a birds eye view Christmas shopping. We as a group’ crowd’ have no formation at all…everywhichway is us humans 😉
No formation. I like that, but I have a list…does that count? I’ve keep checking it but still not making progress. Teehee.
Sorry I am so late in replying, Christmas got me out partying which was lovely but I am not a teenager anymore…well…I can’t even remember back that far but I don’t think I needed my sleep back then as I do now. Anyways, does a list count? My word it does, I am a list person then I lose it and make another list so I guess I would be the one break-away in the group. Your sense of humour matches mine, so nice to be your blogging friend.
Thank YOU, Rose. I finally got tired of losing my lists. I purchased an inch-thick lined spiral notebook at the $ store, about 4 by 5 inches in size and write EVERYthing in it. Now I have no excuse.
I’m pleased our sense of humour matches. Hard to be understood when you’re a little quirky like me. I am happy to call you my blogging friend. 😀
Yes it is so nice to be on the same wave length…BTW ever misplaced you big notebook?
Not YET. It’s a half-inch thick so it’s hard to displace (I think). I keep it in my purse. If it’s not there, I might PANIC. 🙂
Once. It was buried under paper and whatnot on my dining table. You would have thought I’d lost money or something. 😛
