the spruce: a cherita haibun

Posted on Categories Poetry

a harsh domain of clay and shale…

only birds welcome

saplings planted with care…

one day a wild seed

becomes a Christmas tree

sparkling winter rain…

young juniper

rooted by the cedar stair

forest dreaming

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.
