Poems in The Canberra Times

The Canberra Times newspaper published two tanka by Andrew on 24 March 2012. Under the overarching heading “Outback Eagles”, the first tanka is titled “Prey”, while the second is titled “Poise”. The second is reproduced below:

2. Pose

.

A wedgetail eagle

on a kangaroo carcass

beside the highway

strikes up a majestic pose

as if it had made the kill.
