Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge Image 2016

Afternoon drive home,

Golden rays slant long shadows,

Cool breeze, mellow song,

Sweet moment of alchemy

heralds summer’s destiny.

As the title suggests, I have tried to capture a moment that I experienced on the way home yesterday afternoon.  Besides the ingredients mentioned in the tanka poem, the prompt words for Ronovan’s Haiku Challenge #114 were hanging out at the back of my mind.  This week I have used synonyms, an option in this challenge that has opened my awareness of the multiple meanings of words.  I used ‘alchemy’ for the prompt ‘magic’ and ‘destiny’ for the prompt ‘stars’.

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.
