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

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.
