year end – – haibun

Posted on Categories Poetry

I drive by rigid trees cased with ice. I feel the weight on their limbs, the pending risk of breakage. There is no magic sparkle of sunlight to mask their imprisoned state. And on the News I hear of dark skies filled with smoke…Australia’s burning bush.

year end fire

the crack of falling branches

the weight of ice

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.

  5. Your contrast tghrough 3 lines of haiku is genius. Your image is stunning Janice. The fires are now raging in our state of Victoria. Climate change is screaming to the world through our dried out forests and our government looks away in idealogical ignorance.
