Dear mysterious person ;-)

crows become restless
gathering in murder
--in a moment they are gone

overhead the cacophony of sound
together they fly in formation
--only the swift and strong shall return


I was wondering if this could be put into a tanka"ish" five line form maybe?

e.g.

restless crows
gathering in murder
and cacophony of sound

together they fly in formation
only the quick and strong return


all my best,
