Mieke Boynton
Profile
My background is in Writing – I have an undergraduate in Arts (English) and have been an English teacher for six years, but have had a deeper, stronger passion for Visual Art all my life. I just never had the courage to venture down that road.
After living in the East Kimberley last year and being surrounded by the unbelievable beauty of the far North-West region of Australia, my camera has quickly become my most valued (and well-used!) posession. Until recently, my weapon was a Kodak Easyshare, but I’m trilled to be discovering the joys of my brand new Nikon D60. I can accredit just about all I’ve learned this year to the wonderful ADPOTD community (www.potd.com.au) but I’m also a very happy member of the Melbourne Camera Club.
Thank you for visiting my page and checking out my artwork!
Mieke.
DREAM BIG. WORK HARD. SMILE! =D

Angel
An Angel / she appeared to me / and I was caught. / Shamelessly I claimed her mine.
A Sense of Sunrise
Texture: Sand. / Dimly visible in the pre-dawn glow. / Bare feet sinking into wet holes.
Toothpaste
Yesterday, I took the empty tube of toothpaste off my shelf, / squeezed the very last blue juices from its flattened head, / and tossed it in the bin beside the toilet.
Hope
When I met you / I didn’t fall for you like a landslide, / I floated like an Autumn leaf / and didn’t realise / I was in love / until I saw where I’d fallen from / and knew I could never get bac…
Drift
Her tired eyes are parched and dry / from staring ahead at the bendless road, / watching the patter of splattering butterflies / on her windscreen. / Driving Northward. / Driving home. / Blink.
What Is
The meaning of Home is simple to a child – / at least it was to me.
