burning down the house
I saw two magpies
out in the field
the one where crickets
turn into monsters
and dream of feasting on
human history
I saw two magpies
out in the field
perched upon towers
man-made and alive
turning on the airwaves
and chatting freely
I saw two magpies
out in the field
pimped out for the show
in 3D glasses
marveling at the mirrors
reflecting the fire
july two thousand sixteen

This needs more than a ‘Like’. It needs a LIKE and a WOW and an Appreciation!
thank you my friend – there is something about magpies and mirrors is there not?
Yes. They are fascinating creatures. I had one visit me regularly for snacks.

So glad you think so, Bonnie.
Marvelously fresh!!
Thank you so much, my friend!
i love magpies, there are lots in Australia, they are cheeky birds and friendly. Dangerous during nesting season as they swoop (but it seems, only little boys)
they’re wonderful – smart and so good looking
