all that glitters

Posted on Categories Poetry

Summer takes another bow,

goldenrod,

sunflowers,

Black-eyed Susans,

bright echoes of her flaming rays

all her glitter now shimmers gold

Silken wings flirt and flutter

a shy gobbler wanders from the bush

cicadas call and every hour

a fresh generation chimes

It’s never over

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.
