Loner

Photo of a single, small rose surrounded by green leaves.

A single rose blooms
protected by leaves around
no friends to play with

Theatre

Photo of a child sat on the floor of at the train station, watching a group of Christmas carol singers, while the child’s mother stands beside him.

Joy of theatre
worth sitting on the floor for—
mum’s errands can wait.

Qantas

Grinning at the sun,
slicing through the horizon—
a kangaroo hops.

Puppy

Close up photo of a puppy, rugged up, sleeping on a bed.

Our bundle of joy—
drooling all over the bed,
marks territory.

Ready

Photo of a row of Qantas airplanes parked on the apron at the airport.

The fleet is ready;
apron’s wrapped around, tied up—
let Christmas begin.
