** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Hi, I'm Elle. I'm based in Auckland, New Zealand. I'm the mother of two young adults, the wife of an entrepreneurial gamer and the Queen of Unfinished Projects. This blog will contain poems, short stories, possibly photos and book reviews if you're lucky, and my thoughts on a variety of topics. Hope you enjoy it. |
Finally transcribed some poems I'd dictated into the audio app on my phone while commuting to/from work some time ago... ___________________________________________ There's no hidden Robin Hood complex. (Jordan Belfort?) He carefully lines his pockets while his lips smile but his eyes don't. ____________________________________________ My eye for photography told me the day lacked vibrancy and contrast and I wondered, absently, if that explained my mood. ____________________________________________ A poem for all the wanker drivers out there Despite your belief to the contrary, Dickwad, your lack of consideration doesn't mean you're smarter. It only means you're an asshole. ___________________________________________ Driving over Upper Harbour Bridge, the water looks like a stucco ceiling in reverse, a mottled mimicry of the wind-torn sky above, more grey than blue, and apropos of nothing I realise I miss you. __________________________________________ The rain blurs the distinction between sea and sodden sky leaving us smothered in a damp, grey blanket. _________________________________________ I heard the electric fence click, and I paused, waiting a beat, for the repetition I had learned as a child to expect. __________________________________________ A sailor's warning splattered across the morning sky. __________________________________________ The traffic on Upper Harbour Bridge plays hide and seek as Greenhithe is smothered into obscurity beneath a dense duvet of early morning fog that reminds me of potential possibilities and the urge to photograph places I've never been. __________________________________________ There seems to be some continuing themes! ![]() |
