Clear sunlight cool breeze
No fog, mist or cold wind
Cuckoos and magpies sing
Clear sunlight cool breeze
No fog, mist or cold wind
Cuckoos and magpies sing
With flip-flap wings
in rhythmic rowing,
two sunset-magpies
flew straight through
a sky of pumpkin soup,
as I drove home to you.
When magpies' crackle joins the song
Another answers from below--
That neighing horse completes the verse
Until loud winds hush gossip's row.
embers lose their glow
smoke thins across distant hills
magpies call at dusk
i grieve the long gold evenings
yet welcome the cooling rain
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
Listen to poem:
Magpies bring in the dawn
singing fluted chorales
to flock, friends and passers by.
They know friendly faces
in their congregation
carolling, warbling along.

Mellow melodies of magpies in enchanted wood herald spring.

I have inherited pleasure:
the rhythm of pegs, the smell
of buttery sun on sheets,
a whispering murmur of trees
standing around, and the company
of magpies inspecting
with one eye looking for worms.
A new sun is dawning
There's a glistening in the sky
Mother hens are chirping
As Magpies learn to fly
Children are on bicycles
New love is in the air
Ice cream stalls and fresh fruit
Summer is everywhere.
Two magpies were devouring the remains of Elsie's cat
which was as flat as uncle Charlie's welcome mat.
It wasn't always so; once, he was a jolly ginger rotund fellow.
Now, alas, poor Bobby is a giant squished marshmallow.
A perfectly predictable purplish tabby cat misbehaves
Dancing across magnificent magpies excavated graves
Squirming yellow shining housefly larvae she enslaves
Swimming through thick sticky b-positive tidal waves
A polka dotted butterfly with stiletto and cream shaves
The morning lasted all day
Rain dripped off the backs
Of jet-black ravens
Perched in the branches
Of tired ancient larch.
They looked angrily,
More annoyed,
At magpies foraging
Through lonely sentinel bins.
Who didn’t care about rain,
Only about thieving ravens.
One step at a time
Count them or make a rhyme
Then fix your gaze to the front
And walk to it taking the brunt
Of the exercise in the walk
Breath in and hear magpies squawk
The Australian sun is something to behold
Being in nature never gets at all old.

blackbirds sqwark.
hungry magpies try their luck
where pigeons coo;
children's voices echo long
on imagination's highway;
leather sounds on willow,
outfielders idly doze
spectators quietly clap ;
and sleepy snores
sounds the days away.
Inspired by Laura's contest
"Will you write for me?" she asked.
"Will you be there when
the silver-gloved hand of night
closes the sky?"
The chatter of magpies
never ceases as their wings
brush against the door.
Run, run to the closet of your heart,
and put on your treasure-jewels.
It's never too late to dress up.
"Will you write for me?" she asked.
"Will you be there when
the silver-gloved hand of night
closes the sky?"
The chatter of magpies
never ceases as their wings
brush against the door.
Run, run to the closet of your heart,
and put on your treasure-jewels.
It's never too late to dress up.
Azure blue under an endless Australian sky
Magpies chortling flying by
Fresh cool breeze on an autumn day
Easter weekend 2018 in a lazy way
The news is not so bad
Seems this year there is no sad
A Christian holiday with meaning
Faith in god with some hope for healing.

Traffic is slow.
In the drizzle
the holiday crowd complain and grizzle.
Magpies and currawongs are carolling.
The morning is silvery now.
A heavy sky bends down,
dropping diamonds
wetly on the ground.
Mounds and hills will grow emerald grasses.
Rain sings the treasure of life as it passes.
blackbirds sqwark and cluck
hungry magpies try their luck-
fledglings hide,dumbstruck
leather sounds on bat
spectators,politely clap-
outfielders,idly chat
children,outdoors stay
on imagination's freeway-
hours in dreamland,play
pigeons coo like doves
the mistlethrush sings above-
hello,my lady-love
Dance
Between the granite stones
Of the dead
Long ago last breaths do part
Memories seeping in dirt
Black birds and magpies
Lace and knots
Lingering thoughts
Swaying too and fro
Insane
Dancing
On top of the dead
Lover is all but gone
Butterflies shown
That life flies on
As shadows rest
Upon ones breast
It’s always the last of the booming sounds.
That, which ricochets slowly into the tunnel of
Our souls —that hard, wavering metallic
Whisper —wafting high and solemnly — from the belfry,
Floating through the spikes of Gothic sails,
Frightening gargoyles and hushing magpies,
On its way down to the audience of Sunday.
Morning solitude is best
The once dark margin of the sea
is all at once, a sparkling pleasure
To hear the sprightly magpies
as they wander over dewy grass
warbling a wealth of sound
the like of heaven
Air so fresh it equals joy
and the jewel in the crown;
on the vacant lot beneath the sign -
a lily has bloomed.
Trees green canopy blocks the sun
A place where variety of birds have fun
Crows, magpies search on the ground
While the falcons screech does resound
Robins, swallows, wrens fly in mad chase
Round corners into the trees with haste
Some will sit on top of the fence line
Singing and chirping in the sunshine
10/20/12
Birds do ballet out there on the grass.
Gulls have come in from the sea.
Blackbirds are always here, and so are crows,
with jackdaws, too, and magpies.
A silent ballet, nothing to hear
within this small apartment,
but you can hear a ballet through your eyes
as these birds poke and peck -
a hop here and a walk there.
