So in contrast to my haiku here's a long piece (in three parts).
The Gift of Grace

The Gift of Grace

A murmurating starling said
“While we’re performing overhead
my feathered friends and I have found
that all your efforts on the ground
are lacking our esprit de corps
and have, in brief, been rather poor.

“So now we offer, almost free,
this stunning opportunity,
a course we’ve tailored to your needs
(for modest sums of bugs and seeds).
We’ll give you all the skills you lack
in ten short weeks, or beetles back.”

So every day from eight til three
they coached their choreography,
the path to pirouettes and poise
and, at appropriate times, the noise
of one enormous forest fire,
the sound of flocks in night attire.

And then, to banish any doubt,
certificates were handed out
affixed with odoriferous seals
(resembling wax, but not quite real)
and glossy wing-tips brushed the hand
of each proud human graduand.

Then as they nibbled cheese and worms
the boldest tweeted in these terms
#notimelikethepresent
the 4cast 4 this aft is pleasant
Let us go now you and I
and dance beneath the salmon sky

At once from every habitation
shop and school and railway station,
bank and coffee bar and baker’s
factory and undertakers,
up from cellars, down from attics
minds intent on acrobatics

in one Terpischorean tide
human beings stepped outside.
and flowed away in braided streams
uphill, to where the upland seems
to shatter on a gritstone edge,
where climbers grip and falcons fledge,

and on the sward below the height
they gathered in the fading light
to sway and waver, pulse and curl,
plume to a seamless mass, then whirl
away in a filementous burst.
They had no score, no steps rehearsed,

their rule, their principle, their groove
was “see what your neighbour does, and move.”
and when their spirographic spree
had reached its breathless apogee,
into a final swirl they drew
and poured as from a jug into

the thicket of a nearby wood.
And long into the night there could
be heard their sleepy repertoire
of “Goodnight Jonboy,” “Goodnight Ma,”
and when the sun enflamed the East
the Age of Hearth and Home had ceased.

And in that dawn the Faculty,
observing from a nearby tree,
saw this event could now afford a
chance to change the pecking order
swapping drafty reeds and fences
for bijoux urban residences.

Our forbears didn’t hesitate,
they chose at once to relocate.
So now my sons, my daughters bold
the story of that day’s been told,
you know how starlings gave the race
of humankind the gift of grace

and in return became the heirs
of roosts with windows, walls and stairs.
So tuck your bills beneath your wings
and as your speckled father sings
a coda to this fairy tale,
we’ll dream, we’ll dream

we’ll dream, we’ll dream
we’ll dream along the dado rail.

I'm rather prone to writing haiku about birds...

over ridge and furrow
the rise and fall
of a swallow

that twig's
still not right !
coots are building

the crows
build the tree
back into itself

My final contribution for #PromptCombo #Winged.

A reworking of an old one which I wasn't happy with 😊

#poetry
#prayer
#Mythology

A Prayer to Hypnos

O Hypnos,
shadow-winged lord
who walks the star-lit paths,
brother of Death
yet kindred to mortals,
loosen the bonds of my toil.

Lead me, weary,
into healing night.
Descend, soothing one,
and veil my eyes.

Sacred keeper of rest,
grant me the hush that cleanses,
the sleep that renews,
the silence
in which the spirit is reborn.

By your favour
may dawn find me whole,
my breath as steady
as the slumbering sea.

@emteepoetry.bsky.social here is my second contribution for your #Winged #PromptCombo call-out

#Poetry

$Bat Among the Lights Once, weathered barns leaned with beams whispering to the wind. Fields were midnight seas, and trees stretched their arms to cradle the night. Now the earth is parcelled with concrete, hedgerows clipped into obedience. The dark fractured by streetlights, blooming too bright. The bat drifts through this geometry of glass and brick, its wings brushing halos, its hunger met by moths circling the false moons. It's plentifully fed, yet carries in its bones the taste of muted evenings, the weight of stars unchallenged, the vastness of the black before it was tamed. Its flight is a lament, an elegy for what is gone, a winged shadow threading progress, thriving, yet haunted, by simpler days. Dreaming of a world it cannot return to, even as it flourishes in the light we have made.$

Hi, @emteepoetry.bsky.social
Here's another offering for #PromptCombo #Winged, a favorite of mine written in celebration of "October's bright blue weather," which in these parts brings the raptors out on show. Thanks again for the prompt!

For @emteepoetry.bsky.social Emily and her marvellous #primptcombo #Winged a sonnet from my forthcoming collection "Miner Wattas":

Southern Iron Blue (a rare mayfly found in Cawthorne Dike)

this flat hardness, far from death and plunder.
I came from the flow Under into flow
Above.
I scraped hardnesses for food in the Under.
In the Above I have no mouth. Enough!

Avoiding massive mouths I rise in light.
I find my wings. My feet taste surfaces.
I clasp her from below. Both of us in flight.
She drops to the Under, then releases

our bairns, exhausted, collapses, flow takes her.
I starve to death, so how am I speaking now?
I am one of many voices of the river,
preserved. I do not know the why or how.

Know me in the riffles whose water changes
ever different ripples and exchanges.

Suzy, this is a fantastic offering for #winged. So glad you shared it again, since it's my first reading of it. Love what you are doing here. The point of view pivot after the 4th stanza is so effective. Such a fan fo this.👏🪽
