This short poem is called a Tan Renga. Tan Renga looks like a tanka but is written by two people.   In this case the first ‘stanza’ is written by Jane Reichhold.  The second (final two lines) is my response, prompted by a  Carpe Diem feature in honor of Jane Reichhold: “Carpe Diem Universal Jane #3: Riversong”.

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.
