at emerg – – haiku

at emerg

watching shoes pass by

under the curtain

.

is admitting terror more valid than denial?

.

cherry blossom sky

her peacefulness

fast sleep

.

©️2019 Ontheland

Here I use cherry blossoms a Japanese kigo (season word) rich with symbolism, for Frank Tassone’s weekly Haikai Challenge.

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.
