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.

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.

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
