downpour 15.8.18

Posted on Categories Poetry

thunder crashes

matched by wild lashing downpour

no false news this time

:

all in one day

raindrops fall and ricochet

this summer’s rain

©️2018 Ontheland

Note: the second haiku may be a slight exaggeration–we have had other rains, but this one, far more significant than any other, is causing flooding.

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.
