L is for Liaison

Jo Bryant,

lost in the quiet noise, the water rolls

over the sand, rocking the minute

grains in an ancient lullaby, as the

ocean croons its whispered melody a

path revels in the revealing,

haphazard, wild, unrestrained,

imperfect perfection

leads me to the place my heart

expects

My post for ABC Wednesday

I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes. I am a freelance photographer. I love to make images that make people happy. To capture forever a precious moment. I am also a freelance writer/editor. I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage. I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008. I am writing my first novel. I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web. And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

  10. Minute/time…minute/little…at first I was thinking of grains of sand in an hour glass; my brain is really tired…if there’s minute grains, are there hour grains? Never mind me….it is a lovely poem.

  11. I associate liaison with a liaison officer at work who forgot to do her job and got me stuck in another country for 3 days. By the way when I typed liason (exactly the way it appears on your title) a red zigzag appeared under it. Is it just the computer or was the spelling deliberate on your part… just wondering.

    Nice poem: “ancient lullaby” and “revels in the revealing” are my favorites.

    1. No – that was an oopsie on my part – now hastily rectified. Thanks for pointing it out.
      Thanks Hazel – glad you found something other than an error in it as well.

  12. I think I’ve been to the Bay of Plenty. Isn’t that it on the top eastern side of the North Island. Only been to New Zealand once . I was fascinated by the fields of deer and couldn’t imagine how the farmer kept them in the field. Great ‘L’s
