crocus blue – – haiku

crocus blue

where a rabbit went

in the snow

*It’s thought that rabbit urine turns blue when they nibble buckthorn. Whatever the cause, the blue adds a brilliant colour to the snow.

Tecophilaea cyancrocus by Magnus Manske

Welcome!

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.

Thank you for dropping by!
