Waiting still

Pondering classical haiku, can tangle my mind

When first-day-of-spring lifts my hair, haiku may leap from my pen

Waiting for, a haiku moment, perhaps this, is it.

Ever since I started  writing haiku, I have engaged internally with an interest in classical haiku and a desire for creative leeway.  It is not really a problem—just a process that happens.  These reflections experiment with the Sijo poetry form — for the classical guidelines, please follow the link.

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.
