Tiny frogs

Mulch startles,

lifts,then falls silent,

tiny frog.

Pebbled brown,

in stones and clover,

tender life.

Two recent prompts from Carpe Diem fit perfectly with a recent garden observation and a spring photo.  I am linking to Carpe Diem #1049: Fish and Frogs and Carpe Diem #1048: Stones.

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai is the place to be if you like to write and share haiku, tanka or other Japanese poetry forms such as choka and kikobun. It’s a warmhearted family of haiku poets created by Chèvrefeuille, a Dutch haiku poet. Japanese poetry is the poetry of nature and it gives an impression of a moment as short as the sound of a pebble thrown into water.

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.
