Rushing sound
Blackbirds flee en masse

Filling trees
Replacing fallen leaves

Rustling
Mumbling black leaves

Like a sea
Myriad birds fly
Black wave

Soaring above fallen grain
Ending of a season
A Choka followed by a Tanka. :D A Choka is 5 syllables folowed by a 7 syllable sentence. Followed by more stanzas. (The shortest I found was three long.) One can keep adding stanzas as desired. I followed it up with a Tanka cause my example ended in a Tanka.

Today was very interesting. The blackbirds, who have always been in rather small numbers in my lifetime have grown substainstially this year. :D The sheer number of them I saw today makes me wonder if this is what it was like in the past. Back when, according to my dad, they'd fill the sky for hours. I surely saw a lot today! They literally filled the trees, all while large groups flied overhead. I stumbled across a large group that took off in flight just a few feet away from me, all together. Made one heck of a sound. I took some pictures, and got pics of them in the trees as well as some flying over a field.
