Swell

Suddenly, skyward
small starling sussuration
sweeping silently.

Can It Be Spring?

It’s still not March, yet
the starling army stormed my
frozen yard today.

Ice Storm

Starling squabbles start
Over sunflower seed scattered–
Shattering silence.

Two pair of cat ears
Pinned back below window ledge
Thinking they’re hidden.
