BLESSED BY MAGPIES

Welcome to my poetry blog as it rises from the ashes of Magpie Bridge. I have no idea what happened to my previous blog, Magpie Bridge, it just disappeared. Signs are it was hacked. Anyway, having spent some weeks pondering what to do, I have decided to start again. So welcome to Blessed By Magpies, and here is the title poem:

THE UNFATHOMOMABLE DEEP FORREST- Edward Thomas

Tree-veined thought, leaf-wrought wonder,

deep, cool roots, dream

the earth in slumber.

Gods conjure us in passing,

shadows on their eyelids.

Brief as clouds in the skies.

I shall step soundless with respect,

blessed by magpies.

There you go. This is the title poem from my second collection, published in 2011, there are second hand copies about. 

Here's The Beatles with The Two of Us.

Until next time.
