quiet pleasures: haiku

Posted on Categories Poetry

moving snow…

her cheeks the glow of cardinal wings

.

.

in flight…

blue jay underparts as white as snow

.

.

liberated

paths chiseled through

snow

.

.

her snow scoop

gliding over frozen ground

a quiet thrill

.

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.
