Flock of robins

Posted on Categories Poetry

lone spring robin,
head down,
poking at freshly thawed earth
excavating worms—
a cliché that came true year after year
until yesterday when the picture changed…

searching for fruit
more spring birds than I can count
on a winter’s day

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.
