a second chance: haiku and senryu

Posted on Categories Poetry

a second chance

to begin

lunar new year

:

on the wall

behind the grow light

a green moth

:

cleaning the fridge

I finish the dregs

last night’s wine

:

swinging

from melt to freeze

some relationships…

:

anise

in the pizza

a heavy sprinkle

:

browsing

the seed rack

a new lunar year

©️2019 Ontheland

The new lunar year began on Tuesday February 5, 2019.

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.
