spring rain- -tanka

spring rain

sheltered by a hood

the joy of a rain jacket

free from the bending spokes

of my old umbrella

night sounds: haiku

a sound

brushes the house

winter rain

:

beyond the walls

a faint clatter —

freezing rain

rain at last

soft drizzle at last

nothing calls for an answer

until the ground is cooled

summer rain

dark summer day

air clings to humidity

clouds hoard the rain

~

the beans grow inches

no time lapse movie needed

when summer rains

~

in mid-summer rain

a green umbrella rises

young sunflower stems

~

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!
