Riot of bugloss,

purple spikes buzz and bumble,

bees sipping nectar.

My haiku is in response to Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge #106: ‘sing’ and ‘flower’.  ‘Bumble’ means to make a buzz or hum.  I am fairly certain (from peering at a field guide) that the wild flowers in the photos are ‘Viper’s Bugloss’.

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.
