Poem

Colony trio flying high
three birds in the sky
flying high no place to hide
against the wind
against the storm
fly with no limits
sharp claws and long wings
smooth feather and sharp eyes
watching its prey
three birds in the sky
flying high no place to hide

Description
This poem is based on three main words (bird, long, three). The concept of this poem is about bird hunting its prey. Flying in a small group of three, they watch their prey from the sky. With strong wind and storm, they fly higher and higher. Their prey do not know there are birds watching them from the sky. Ready to attack with their sharp claws and long wings.

Completed.

The top part looks like definitions, etymology is the origin of a word, for example, three has a proto-Indo-European origin, at least 6000 years ago; all over the world a similar word is used, including Indonesia; words like triumvirate, troika, or triceratops contain this root. By becoming aware of word roots, we increase our vocabulary power.
