May – – tanka

Posted on Categories Poetry

the first of May…

streamers of rain

soaking the earth

moist scents of bergamot…

my hopes for opening buds

Chèvrefeuille hopes to offer a new series of prompts at Carpe Diem’s Tanka Splendor on Wednesdays. My poem is inspired by two tankas featured yesterday in ‘Reviving Tanka Splendor’.

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.
