Moth on Window 

Parchment heart wings lift

Lanky legs clutch screen, ready

To stay ’til darkness.

And the moth did stay until evening, but now it’s dark, he is gone–perhaps to dance in the light.  Regular readers of my blog might be interested to know that for the next two weeks I will be participating in WordPress’ Writing 201 course focussing on poetry. The first assignment is haiku, slightly familiar territory (thanks to Ronovan’s Haiku Challenge). How many other assignments I will publish, or when, is yet to be seen.  I will be continuing with regular posts as well.

My name is Janice.  I started blogging as Ontheland when I moved from Toronto to a rural area near Kingston, Ontario in Canada.  Over time I have found myself writing poetry, mostly in Japanese forms, such as haiku and haibun.  One of my deepest interests is the natural world: the joy of it and how we can look after it better.
