vestiges,
accumulations
concealed, then
uncovered…
in the feline stealth of time
mountains grow from dust

Amaya at dVerse has challenged us to write a shadorma (3-5-3-3-7-5 syllables) with hints of shadow, mist, enigma. I wrote this gazing at the sunset, first thinking about the tunnels under Rome where they discovered all kinds of refuse, and then about other dumps and secret disposals large and small.

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.

  4. The “feline stealth” describes well the process of how the earth herself changes and becomes renewed. It takes a special set of eyes to see that and I can tell you are prone to watching your cat with such keen observation. Thank you for this intriguing Shadorma!

    1. Thank you for these thoughts Amaya…if only we could/would more closely perceive evolutions, processes, that occur before us, sometimes extending back centuries and reaching into the future.
