Blinding rhetoric

Magic words entice

Waves of rhetoric glitter

brilliant threads of light

streaming in all directions

Dazzle unwary targets

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.

  3. Oh… Janice, this has the perfect political undertone to it. 😀 How can you not? The whole world waits with baited breath for this all to be over! Well done. ❤

    1. Thanks Colleen 🙂 you’re right the election results will have a ripple effect across the planet. I can’t bear to follow the process closely but it’s impossible to ignore.
