Snakes and ladders

Posted on Categories Uncategorized 
Herbal remedies:
    laced with pesticides

Woodland hiker dreams:
    tumbles off a cliff

Barred basement windows:
    lock in radon gas

Pollution laws passed:
    wild repeals ensue

Vote for just reform:
   hate spiral spins out

Love and mindfulness
    immersed in chaos

No escape ladder---
    we must travel through.

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.
