Mr Magpie... Poem by Annette Aitken

I see that Stuart has good taste: I love this one too. May I make a couple of suggestions regarding format? No? OK, still a tenner to me...

I can see you! ! ! Enjoying your morning chat with the nesting magpies, your bright happy face lifted to the morning light..... That is a good way to start the day- -loving God's creation and its creatures. Love the description of the sumptuous breakfast! ! ! ! I love the gentle natural humor of this piece! Well done, Deserves 10.

i like this a lot EXCEPT i was not always sure who was the speaker from one line to another. : ( maybe if i'm lucky, someone will bring ME a tasty tray of treats? ! favorite lines: She's resting in the nest above kept awake for most the night those rowdy crows, having a go at everything in site. to MyPoemList. bri :)

very subtle commentary on a common pest. Caw! Caw! Another star performance.

Delightfully envisioned, Annette, with traces of darker undertones to carry along a slightly sinister edge contrasting with the brighter vision of birds flitting in the trees, coming down to entreat with the subject who bears treats tasty for birds, a bit disconcerting for humans. Nice interplay of contrast, my dear. An enjoyable read. :) S

Loved to read this one; turned a smile on my face. Excellent!

Great poem, bird can be really amazing creatures.
