The Magpie is a bird with an eye and a mind for all that is beautiful. Being a creature of the sunlight and the open planes he loves the blue sky and the twinkle of the silver lights at night. In his human manifestation he is particularly attracted to the shimmer of a bright idea and he loves to fly high above the material world in search of such glittering gems. The Magpie is a cheerful bird with childlike disposition, and, as you will soon find out, a wry sense of humour and a love of the apparently ridiculous.   Though all magpies are by nature collectors, and I am no exception, here you will find only my own creations. I hope you will find this acceptable and that you will be able to enjoy some of what is here, but, if not, then I will wish you well in your journey through life anyway. Go in peace.   If you really wish to find the best of the online poetryworld, other than mine of course, there is no better place to start than at Mike Burch's The Hyper Texts.
