My Magpies

Morning magpies warble loudly
Sitting in the treetops proudly.
Greet us singing, early sunrise
Warble loudly morning magpies.

Melodies sweet always bringing
Early sunrise, greet us singing. 
All synchronised twitter and tweet
Always bringing melodies sweet

When together they’re harmonised
Twitter and tweet all synchronised.
Clear sunshine or rainy weather
They're harmonised when together

These magpies I am glad their mine
Rainy weather or clear sunshine.
Around, always

The 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 I envy the Duke of Sung?

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

Since time immemorial, it is believed that a single magpie always brings bad luck

Magpies Comunicate With the Dead

Do 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 a tree, listening to the graves
In a silence that makes

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 movements and a rhythm that becomes predictable over time.
I wonder

warble to the sky
a joyous chorus flock shared

A Magpies Rhyme

Our 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 nice.
For this infraction, we may someday atone, we know it

Magpies

Grandpa 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 pockets 
Full of bugs and dirt and smooth, shiny rocks,
I'd

Australaian Magpies

AUSTRALIAN 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 their charm.
For lavished on them is their silver throats,
A sound

Magpies

magpies
bickering raiders
sorrowful untold secrets
line your nests of

Magpies and Disparate Anxious Thoughts

Woke 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 family


My age is now greater than my waist

So there’s less

Magpies

Through busy April clouds
The shrieks of magpies sound
A rainbow black and white

They hide their finds in highest trees
Making their  finest bridal nest
