together in the blue and white
while each still
going their own way
Flock In Flight
Silence In Black And White
well past midnight
alone in the moonlight
flakes gather into flocking
Rise
crows ascend
from the field feeding
only the hungriest linger
Flowered Flight
mariposa
my magnolia
a bloom of butterflies
Secrets Of The Feathered Fellowship
on gray days
being in community
creates its own kind of sunlight
En Mass
they flew
into the sunset
shepherding light
Flock Of Trillium
in they flew
on angel wings
or so it seems
Gathered and Dispersed
of monarchs
billows away
Home to Roost
place for all
on the roof ridge perch
line of lineage
Birds As Leaves
wintry gust
dismisses the flock
flight like leaves
Convening
clatter and clamor
news swap and weather reports
before the southern journey
In The Interval
the birch
wears feathers
while waiting for leaves
Assembly
In the Northeast Kingdom
monarchs flock to the butterfly bush
before their pilgrimage south to sunny Mexico.
