Winter

visiting here,

heralded by crystal

grasses shimmering in beams of

morning,

gazing on frosty festival

of brush, united by

season’s sparkling

debut.

I wrote this butterfly cinquain for Jane Dougherty’s Poetry Challenge #8.  It is two cinquain, joined by a shared two-syllable word in the middle.  The syllable count for the 9 lines is: 2-4-6-8-2-8-6-4-2. To read more poems using this form, please click on the challenge link above.

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.
