May rain

A waterfall

down the windows

first day of May

♦

Damp air presses close

pounding torrents thunder

♦

I hear the sump pump and smile—

silence could mean a flood.

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.
