A haiku for Frank J. Tassone Haikai Challenge #13: Christmas.

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.

    1. Yes … I was hoping those silver tinsel strands had faded out of the picture… but there is always some toxic glitter litter it seems…they called out bath beads and now I’m seeing more and more lose glitter stuff everywhere… on things and included in packaging…they’ll show up in birds and fishes unfortunately…

      1. At least we have never thrown any away. I took the garlands from work about twenty-five years ago when they were throwing out the Christmas decorations. We’re still using it. I have never actually bought any of the stuff.

      2. I have old tinsel garlands too…the tinsel I was moaning about are the strands, like thin foil threads, intended to look like icicles that we threw on trees when I was growing up…I don’t remember if they were reused … but even so some stayed stuck to the tree and the carpet etc
