A Wing-stroked Spectacle<\/h2>\n

by Daniel Moreschi<\/p>\n

Segmented sets of starlings sharply elevate
\ntowards candescent skies, suspend, then circulate
\nin sync. Their wingspans whisper sunset symphonies
\nwhile manifesting silhouetted symmetries.<\/p>\n

With poise, finesse and swiftness, they transform the air
\ninto an ever-changing scape; this canvas where
\neach turn and swirl unfolds a painterly display:
\na moving mural, rendered on a dying day.<\/p>\n

The starlings coalesce to make a checkered veil.
\nThey crown the clouds and skim across a coastal trail,
\nthen separate as if surrendering to gusts,
\nand cover summits like a desert\u2019s storm-flung dust.<\/p>\n

With tapered pace, their fevered flights revert to long
\nglissades of shimmering shades; a showy dance along
\na latent stopgap stage. They stir, careen, decline:
\nretracing what remains of lofty lazuline,<\/p>\n

before it all becomes a screen of red-specked gold.
\nThe starlings falter in its wake; they cannot hold
\ntheir elegance in fading light. Their spirals wane
\nin streaming chains. They spill in spates of jet-black rain.<\/p>\n

Daniel Moreschi is a poet from Neath, South Wales, UK, who experienced a significant turning point when his ongoing battle with severe M.E. upended his life. However, during this period, he also rediscovered his passion for poetry, which had lain dormant since his teenage years. Writing has become a means of distraction from his struggles.<\/p>\n

Daniel has received acclaim in over 70 poetry competitions and has been published in numerous NFSPS anthologies of prize-winning poetry, as well as by Lunar Codex, The Lyric, Society of Classical Poets, The Dawntreader, Wishbone Words, The Chained Muse, BBC Upload, and an array of other journals and publications. Additionally, his work has received nominations for both Best of the Net and the Pushcart Prize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
