the meat falls from the drumstick

as it rises to his mouth

more than my food

is fed to him

at this table

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.

  7. Your son is quite handsome. Apples don’t fall far from the tree. I am enjoying your haiku-esque poems. Poems should be brief. They should crystalize language to the fewest words possible to convey a message, thought, idea… Thank you! You’ve been very busy.

    1. He is very handsome !! And I love the ‘apples/tree’ compliment – though I think it is a bit of a sore point with him being compared to Mum…hehe
