sipping morning tea

without my smartphone

feeling on the cusp

a visceral flavour

of decades past

Smartphones are a turn-of-the century phenomena—“smartphone” became a known term in 1995; the first iPhone came out in 2007.

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.
