moth dust
a smudge of moon
through drifting clouds

As a tribute to Martha Magenta, an accomplished poet who died last month, Frank Tassone’s Haikai Challenge invites us to choose one of her poems and then write one of our own. A Martha Magenta selection is above and my own haiku, below:

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.
