Magpie
One morning, I did spy,
By chance, a speckled magpie
With feathers soft and silky --
Their hues white and milky.
The magpie's flashes of teal
And turquoise were ethereal.
Few birds have caused me to swoon,
This one was heavenly as the moon.
What a singular creature he was:
So serene and mild, he gave me pause.
I beckoned him with a gentle tone
And thus, made my presence known.
Thereupon, the magpie did stir
And fluttered to outstretched finger.
It was, apparently, a pleasant perch --
He sat quite nicely, as though in church.
Struck, I waited,
With breath bated,
For the magpie to flee,
Yet, he seemed fond of me.
The joy this epiphany brought
Was tremendous for oft I thought
None could love one such as I,
But there rested the magpie.
