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.

18 lines, free verse.



The air shimmered
with the promise of wonder
and the weight of magic.

Wide eyes stalked wizard staffs
held motionless -
anticipation
         b u i l d i n g . . .

Cacophonous booms
wrenched sobs and screams
from the vulnerable and wary,
gleefully delicious squeals
from thrill-seekers
delighting in the adrenaline rush.

Spells clashed, sending jagged spears
of lightning through the roiling clouds.

Incantations shivered across every surface.

A new legend would begin tomorrow...
for those who survived the celebrations.
