digging out: senryu

Posted on Categories Poetry

snowed in

my past lives

stored in bins

:

clearing space

wondering why

I kept these for so long

:

fallen branches

remnants of life chapters

in a discard pile

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.

  2. Janice, you capture the chaos of sorting beautifully, how these ‘remnants of life chapters’ end up lost in heaps … yet we find it difficult to let go! Hope you’re not snowed in for too long … you might not having anything left to clear out! x
