Teamwork

Photo of the port side of a tall ship with the ropes alongside it.

Aboard a tall ship—
where our egos go to die;
bonds are made stronger.

Zoo

Photo of giraffes and zebras in a large enclosure, with giraffes nibbling on leaves hung on dead tree limbs. — Auckland zoo

Gently the giants
nibble away at dead trees;
observing humans.

Missing

Photo of raindrops on a window of a ferry, with a view of dark clouds and the ocean.

As tears, rain drops fall,
ominous clouds gather round—
spring goes a hiding.

Unknown

Photo of the flight path map in a plane travelling from Australia to New Zealand across the Tasman sea.

Teetering on edge:
moving to a new country;
jumping off a cliff.

Zen boat

Photo of an Auckland ferry approaching the dock, with other smaller boats in the background. — Auckland ferry

Hanging out at sea—
grounded but head in the clouds,
boats live the zen life.
