under dark clouds – – tanka

under dark clouds

tornadoes touch down

Beirut explodes

a plane crashes in Kerala

and here I pause in summer rain

Haikai Challenge #151 – – autumn storm or darkness

Tagged , ,

Published by Janice

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.
