Magyar is the pen name of Doug Ryan who began writing as a high school student, and continued writing through his further education and to this day. He considers himself a writer, not an author; he believes that has not yet risen to the level of a poet.

  1. Surrounded by high mountains, we didn't see this phenomenon either. Could have done with that hound's insight and perspective.
    How much do we really understand of nature's intuition?

        That Toowoomba Sheep Station dog mouser (retired but still haunting the sheds) was called Max! So he was Max the Mouser (rtd). <grin>
