The soil is awake!

nestled in last year’s remains

chive sprouts are stretching!

I saw chive sprouts in my back garden on Monday afternoon—an exciting sign of new growth.  I was inspired to write this haiku by Carpe Diem #1183, First day of spring.

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.

  2. After I read this I went out to take a close look as to what was awake, or not. I found remnants of fall, ground cover-like chaos, baby tulips and a lone hyacinth:) That made me smile:) Thank you Janice.
