winter: shadorma

Posted on Categories Poetry

Summer flown

To warmer places

The long cold

Night bone dry

While limbs creak and skin seeps blood

magma stirs within

©️2018 Ontheland

Background: I started writing this shadorma (six-line poem with 3-5-3-3-7-5 syllables) at the end of November 2017, a month of shadormas. I ‘finished’ it yesterday.

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.
