Stone # 4

Jo Bryant

she lies entangled

duvet

cushions

half-closed brown eyes

beg for attention

from across her bent knees

moving pictures flash

out a story –

glass slippers

difficult love

fairytales where a fish and a bird

can love forever –

coffee

fluffy milk

buttery pastries

Sunday morning

in the middle of the week

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.

  8. “Sunday morning in the middle of the week” – every one of us knows what that means, and it’s even more luxurious than those Egyptian cotton towels!

    I wish I had a croissant right now…. The power of words!

    1. Sadly there are those that don’t. The Daughter’s best friend is a local vet nurse and she recently rescued five abandoned kittens. They were all flea ridden, full of worms and the cat flu – it makes me so angry I could spit !!!!
