A Magpies RhymeOur neighbor Edna is an incessant talker for sure
My husband says squawker, and I think so too
Weird words come out in a blather, somehow threatening
More than a bit of chatter, it is constant and nonsensical.
We call her magpie when we are alone, which is not...

Australaian MagpiesAUSTRALIAN MAGPIES
I woke to a cheerful sound at dawning
As warbling of three magpies greet my day.
They're sitting on tree branches this morning
And warble though the skies have turned to grey.
The magpies are dressed in black and white coats
No need of colours to enhance...

Magpies and Disparate Anxious ThoughtsWoke up at four then with each passing train
Been waiting all weekend for Monday again
Saw two magpies but one of them was dead
Is that sorrow or joy for a superstitious head?
anxiety and worry is all about me
I’m all on my own yet surrounded by...

I see two for joy
Two magpies in the garden
Enjoying the sunshine
Inspired by the moments
Two as a pair
Love and happiness
Inspiring our joy
Blessings and gladness
Two as a couple
Joined in time and space
We are blessed profoundly
Every single day

Magpies Comunicate With the DeadDo magpies communicate with the dead?
It is not uncommon to see magpies in a cemetery
Silent and calm, watch over the graves,
The flowery tombs and the so dogmatic crosses
I often see them in cemeteries thinking,
As if to speak to those who are underground,
They go on...

MagpiesGrandpa took his gun
Out to the field
And I watched as he aimed at the birds
And I asked my father "why?"
And he said "They peck the peaches, they raze the raspberries, they plunder the plums"
And I think, where I a magpie
Instead of a girl with her...

The shrieks of magpies sound
A rainbow black and white
They hide their finds in highest trees
Making their finest bridal nest...

As I go about my human day, typing on a keyboard words and numbers into meaningful use via cyberspace,
I notice the simplicity of nature despite its complicated interdependencies -
A pair of magpies visit my garden every day in a sequence of...

Chinese Poets: English Translations IVThe Song of Magpies
by Lady Ho
translation by Michael R. Burch
The magpies nest on the Southern hill.
You set your nets on the Northern hill.
The magpies escape, soar free.
What good are your nets?
When magpies fly free, in pairs,
why should they envy phoenixes?
Although I’m a lowly woman,
why should...
