after hours

Posted on Categories Uncategorized


In Carpe Diem #1274  Chèvrefeuille invites us to explore ‘wordlessness’ in haiku. Visiting at a restaurant after it closed, I attempted some brief haiku:

chef sings

after hours

electric stars

~

hanging out

red scooter

decor

~

chairs cower 

on tabletops

mop on the loose

~

work done

feet in the air

all tabled

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.

  3. I love the last one, especially. The whole series reminded me of when I worked in the school cafeteria in college and how things were after dinner was finished and we had the place to ourselves as we cleaned up.
