Don’t mean I meant it

When I’m silent

doesn’t mean

I don’t want to

tell you

.

If I speak

(blurt it out)

doesn’t mean

I’ll get it right

.

Whys and

Wherefores

are hard—

harder than What.

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.
