A bird i am, so soft toned and small.

You see me on the city skyline, a great length from ground i am tall.

A fowl of great speed and agility.

A fowl of noise and ability

I struggle to catch up with my flock

so much that i seem to mock.

A formation is when we are strong.

trying to catch up before nothing goes wrong.

We tangle and flow, soaring above.

flying much faster than the usual dove.

One squeaks as a hawk approaches

Our wings jittering like panicked roaches.

We turn and tweak with all of our might, only to show you humans a formation in the night.
