Prompt: ‘I’d worked that much out for myself.’ – Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, J K Rowling
An opaque chunk
of rock, clasped in
greedy metal fingers,
symbolic of drama
and a sizeable new dent
in his pocket.
Oh, and love.
“We’re engaged!” she purrs,
glee and tawdry triumph
smeared across her face,
but I’d already worked that much
out for myself.

Hi, I'm Elle. I'm based in Auckland, New Zealand. I'm a moderator at Writing.com, the mother of two gifted children, the wife of a Twitch gaming streamer and the Queen of Unfinished Projects. I've been reading since I was 4 years old, writing poems (badly) since 1994, blogging since 2001 and I started studying photography in 2010. This blog will contain poems, short stories, photos, book reviews and my thoughts on a variety of topics. Hope you enjoy it.
