reflections within and without

Posted on Categories Poetry

Thinking about ‘reflections’and how self knowledge comes from different kinds of external mirrors and from introspection, I wrote three haiku:

~

a look of dismay

sends words to silent replay

rueful reflection 

~

who am I?

a blend of reflections 

from within and without

~

how to see myself?

mirrors may guide or

lead astray

I started blogging as Ontheland and tweeting as Ontheland1 when I moved to the country near Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Blog challenges have led me to experiment with writing poetry and taking photos. Our natural world is one of my deepest concerns...the joy of it and how we can take better care. We live in important times, potentially an historical transition to renewable energy and other sustainable ways of living.
