Little Blue Horses, by Franz Marc, 1911

∼

A sequence of Tilus poems:

Life goes on, love prevails

as sunsets

end.

∼

Twilight mare gathering,

survival

flow.

∼

Majestic steeds steady,

unafraid,

strong.

∼

Community wisdom

in danger:

peace.

Jane Dougherty offers Franz Marc’s Little Blue Horses painting and proposes the Tilus for this week’s challenge.  The Tilus is an interesting form with only 10 syllables (less than a 3-5-3 haiku) and content guidelines described in the 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.
