Wonderful verse Adam! And Ursula Le Guin is probably my favourite novelist. So good. Left Hand of Darkness is amazing! Wishing you all the blessings of the word gods as you start your new novel!! Very exciting.
Love it, Adam. I think poems whose meaning is uncertain are often the best poems. The mood yours builds is exquisite.
And yup, Alan Watts often said about poetry what LeGuin said about novels, and likely many before him. The fact that nothing can truly be conveyed in words is one of my favorite paradoxes.
They are entrancing, aren’t they? One day I hope to see the kind of murmuration one might find in a movie or documentary. I’ve never seen a large one in person.
Adam, this is a fabulous poem. One of my favorites of yours. It’s so visual and has a feel of flying and the turning seasons. Bravo!
I’m so happy you like it, LeeAnn! 😊 Thank you for the comment — it makes me smile knowing this is one of your faves.
" a chaos" is a wonderful and simple way to say what you said. Wonderful.
Thank you, David! 🙏

Thanks, Mike! I’m glad you enjoyed the poem. :)
Oh goodness I’ve been noticing the birds this way too. And watching their murmurations entranced.

Lovely. I can see it (and feel it) so clearly.
Thank you, Margaret! 😊
Lovely, evocative poem, Adam. In my view, one of your best!
Thanks, Thomas! I like knowing it’s one of your favorites.
Curve,
Chaos,
Line…
That’s the circle of life,
Isn’t it?
It is!
Poems whose meaning eludes are gems. Let the moment make the meaning.
Love this one!
Thanks, Brian! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
