sounds

Posted on Categories Uncategorized

In response to a recent Carpe Diem Haiku Kai invitation to write haiku on the theme of dawn using a phrase and fragment:

I am not often up at dawn these days as we are on a later schedule, though morning is the best time to pick lettuce and peas—they’re sweetest then.  I set an alarm to rise early but often postpone picking until next day:

Alarm rings

time to pick lettuce

tomorrow

And, the other evening:

Above traffic hum

birds chirp and chatter

twilight serenade

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.
