Loner

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

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

Qantas

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

Aiming high

Photo of the sunset on the horizon, with the moon above and a crane in the distance.

Though twilight’s set in
our cranes reach out for the moon
human kind aims high

Guard

Close up photo of a small brown dog sleeping on the floor, leaning on a human.

Letting his guard down
the brown dog lies beside me
guarding my small space.

Light show

Photo of the sun rising in the horizon, as seen through the glass windows of the airport, with the ceiling lights reflecting on the glass.

The morning light show—
natural and the other
melding into one.
