As I walk home late from the tracks of my past
I peer at your horizon, a soul that's so vast.
I breath in the sea air, and cry to the night
As front waves appear in the sodium light.
Under the water swim thousands of you
Temperate actions and hullabaloo.
Shifty and scared, brave, taking chances
Bullying, battling, swift primal dances.
Gathering shoals of different kinds
Colours that blend, others that blind.
Shaping your world as nature intended
Instinctively loving, a partner defended.
I could capture you all, my ultimate prize
Tossing back those I may come to despise.
With all of you fishes held under the sea
Can't one come ashore and try capturing me?

Sodium light ... loved these words and your Magpie!
This is great! Loved every line.
This was really, really cool.
But do you really want to be captured? Or do you want to swim along with one by your side?
Beautifully written.
Delightful read!!
Loved this poem and the way the words just flowed together so freely. You captured the essence of the flowing sea with your words.
Good maggie ,,,,

Hullabaloo is just a delightful word. Well done.
Ah, thank you, ladies. I was a bit nervous with it being my first Maggie.
and Lisa....as long as he wasn't too oily and up for spawning when I was, either way would do......lol...!
damn it this is good..... if I was a fish.... I would jump from the ocean and try my best
oh, i feel this one...my fish, she found me...and decided not to throw me back. even after 14 years tomorrow! smiles. nice magpie!
>>Can't one come ashore and try capturing me? <<
And what would they use for bait? :-)
Berowne - anything shiny and sweet.
What a great poem to see ourselves in nature and needing to be nurtured. A fun poem, but also one with deeper meaning! ( And I didn't mean that to sound like a pun!!)
Love this!

This was wonderful-very fun-well written!! Great magpie. It made me smile :)
Hullabaloo is one cool word. Your poem is wonderful!
I loved your last line. You oining to be part of that mysterious world. Whpo wouldn't?
And once again.....thank you!
I always like poetic responses to magpies! Your effort was excellent and turnabout is certainly fair play. I've often wondered if fish would like to grab the end of a pole and pull us into the depths!
