Autumn hush

Posted on Categories Uncategorized

Horizons splashed with

rich orange brilliant red

yellow maple boughs

hushing post-summer mourning—

until winter strips all branches bare

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai is featuring a month long Tanka event with daily prompts.  This is my response to Tanka Splendor #1.

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.
