another year

another decade behind

what is to come

the sun will rise once more

we will eat…play…love

Haikai Challenge #119 – – new year. This is my wish for everyone in the new year—to have the privilege of food, and safety to play and love. The last line of the tanka borrows from the title of a book and movie by Elizabeth Gilbert.

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.
